SCM Expands International Presence with New Subsidiary in Slovenia
SCM is extending its global footprint with significant investments in key international markets. The latest development is the inauguration of a new SCM branch in Trzin, close to Ljubljana, Slovenia, scheduled for January 2024.
This new establishment is designed to cater specifically to the Slovenian and Serbian markets, respecting their unique local characteristics and identities. Additionally, the subsidiary aims to enhance support to existing dealers in Croatia and Bosnia, reinforcing SCM's presence in the region.
As SCM's inaugural venture into the Balkans, this subsidiary is set to be a regional model. The wood-furnishing sector in this area has been witnessing a positive growth trajectory for years, with businesses increasingly adopting advanced technologies.
The new facility will feature a 1,500 square meter exclusive Technology Centre, showcasing a broad array of SCM's latest innovations. The center will align closely with the production needs of the regional market, offering advanced machinery and services.
SCM's new team, comprising highly skilled technicians and sales engineers, will bring expertise in various aspects of secondary wood processing. This includes services for small joinery workshops, large furniture manufacturers, and the burgeoning windows, doors, and timber construction sectors.
Direct interaction with SCM’s team will offer clients an in-depth look at a comprehensive selection of technologies and software, representing a broad spectrum of wood processing solutions available globally.
The subsidiary also brings substantial benefits in customer care. Clients will receive more timely after-sales support, including technical maintenance, spare parts management, and access to a range of digital services through SCM's IoT platform, Maestro connect. This platform enables more efficient, proactive, and predictive assistance.
Lorenzo Trolese, SCM Country Manager for the Balkans area, emphasizes the all-encompassing commercial and technical partnership benefits for local industries. “With our new branch, we're bringing comprehensive support, consultancy, and training to optimize production processes. This marks a significant quality leap for the market, ensuring more efficient and direct services, from pre-sales to post-sales,” says Trolese. The team is set to expand further in the coming months with additional sales and service resources.
