Practically every second day raw materials in a quantity of almost a semi-trailer are brought into the production hall. The wood originates primarily from Swedish and Norwegian saw mills. A longterm cooperation ensures uniform quality. Buffer stocks of more than 200 m3 at the saw mills in question are available at any time upon request. Though Skødstrup Trædrejeri has 7 different types of cutting machines it is not possible for us to overcome the cutting ourselves. Some of the materials are therefore purchased as products ready for processing.

The first operation is to cut the packeted wood in our optimation machine. By means of chalk markings all defects are cut off, securing the requested quality and optimal utilization of the raw material. Skødstrup Trædrejeri was the first turning company with an optimation machine which makes us somewhat of a pioneer in that field.
After the cutting station 7 depositors handle the correct lengths which are now ready for either the moulding machine or for processing in the turner´s workshop.

The moulding machine contributes to the fact that Dansk Træaffald (Danish Wooddeposits) collects approx. 16 tons of shavings every week. One of the latest iniaitives by Skødstrup Trædrejeri in the employment environmental field is the elimination of monotonous, repetitive routines. With the introduction of stacks it is now possible for only one person to mould.

Skødstrup Trædrejeri has the largest capacity in Denmark of sliding. With a capacity of 13 automatic lathes we are able to cope with any job. The TZ-lathes are combination machines with lathe and smooting planer combined with a robot to move the products. Our Rotour lathes with 6 spindles are primarily suited for smaller subjects such as legs for chest of drawers and upholstery, handles and others.

More than 475 pieces of profile turning chisels stand ready for "action" in our grindery. Such an intensive program means that practically no job is too complicated.

Square smoothing on legs is carried out on top/bottom smoothing planer.

To keep a constant humidity both to secure the internal employment environment and to keep the subjects stable during production our airhumidity plant emits up to 300 liter water per hour.

In the finishing section 6 workers are employed, all having several years of experience in handling lacquer, colours, lye, soap and oil treatment and others.

The fully automatic Conveyer-plant, which is an electrostatic disc-system, has an hourly spraying capacity of 3000 legs for chests of drawers. The plant gives an optimal utilization of the lacquer and minimizes emission which benefits both the internal and the external environment.

Daily dialogue, frequent security meetings and the involvement by the Danish Employees´ Health Service secure an internal employment environment, focussing on constant improvements.

Skødstrup Trædrejeri´s computer network with Concorde XAL ensures by expert handling that the entire information flow and book-keeping run smoothly.
