Maintaining strong values is key to creating a successful business and it is a focal point for many businesses looking to establish new relationships within industries such as this.&nbsp;
Contrary to belief, values are not just abstract words or concepts. They represent the foundations of our lives and ultimately determine the decisions we make day-to-day.&nbsp;
In business, values constitute a so-called "reference map" which, in turn, helps employees navigate their workplace.&nbsp;
For a forward-thinking company such as Ferwood, we believe people are what makes a business what it is and, whilst the machinery we recondition remains at the heart of the business, it is essential that the corporate values are shared by the Ferwood team to ensure the company continues to move forward. If the values of the individual work in parallel with the business, not only does the general well-being of the individual increase, but so does workplace efficacy and production efficiency which will inevitably benefit to the customer.
It&rsquo;s clear that countless benefits derive from solid corporate values.&nbsp;
Ferwood&rsquo;s family values play an important role in the company&rsquo;s identity. Luigi Rossi and, later, his son&rsquo;s Federica, Edoardo and Riccardo gave life Ferwood. It has grown to become a global brand that specialises in the sale and regeneration of used woodworking machinery and has become renowned for the quality of products and services it offers. But, this could not have been achieved without the people that make up the business and the bond they share.&nbsp;
For Ferwood, its trusted team are extended family. Regardless of the role they play within the company, individuals come together to achieve a common goal. Growth and development &ndash; both personally and professionally - come from the sharing of ideas and skills, which in turn contribute to the growth of corporate competitiveness. Being "people of the Ferwood group" means much more than being an employee. It means they are a trusted member of the family. The Rossi family understand this and have been able to mould a successful business model centred around the importance of relationships, trust and common beliefs.&nbsp;
Federica Rossi, Head of Human Resources at Ferwood believes that in order for a company to grow and be successful, a large amount of responsibility and trust is required. "For Ferwood, acting responsibly means giving value to everyone's actions. Without a level of trust, growth could not be possible and the company could not flourish.&rdquo; This successful formula has been reflected in the company&rsquo;s production processes, in the product and people within the company.&nbsp;
Ferwood strives for excellence by trying to ensure the best possible customer service. It works hard to ensure the highest technical and professional quality and is committed to offering a valued service to its customers. Ferwood&rsquo;s &lsquo;people&rsquo; are problem-solvers and, by working together, they can create solutions.&nbsp;
This is Ferwood's identity card: an approach focused on the development of its team&rsquo;s potential which moves from the concrete resources present in the company to the needs of the present. The vision for the future is continuous optimsation.
This is the Ferwood culture.

Our Value: Our Identity Card

What are the secrets to effective routine maintenance of edgebanding machinery?
We ask Danilo, our specialised technician, to find out.&nbsp;
"First of all, at the end of each production day, it is necessary to completely clean the machine in order to eliminate all residue that could affect productivity the next day. We recommend that you carefully lubricate all the sliding parts at least once a week and don&rsquo;t forget the electrical and electronic components. It&rsquo;s also important to clean the electrics and PC control panel every two to three months.
The cleaning and overhaul of the glue pot varies depending on the level of production carried out. We suggest that you do this at least twice a year. However, if the machine is not used frequently, we recommend cleaning it out more regularly to avoid the glue from burning.
Last but not least, don&rsquo;t forget to check the general wear and tear of the tools on the machine."
The maintenance of woodworking machinery is essential to ensure high production standards.
Ferwood has a special maintenance program that allows you to keep the systems in optimal conditions. To find out more, contact our support team!

"First of all, it is important to stress the importance of cleaning the machine at the end of every production day. But, in order to maintain optimal performance and longevity, there are serval other maintenance checks that should be carried out, too: &nbsp; &nbsp;
- the daily unloading of electro-spindle cones inside the warehouse;
- regular lubrication of all moving parts of the machine&rsquo;s axes;
- the lubrication of the warehouse cones for the electro-spindle. The frequency this needs to be carried out caries depending on the production but in general, it is recommended that this should be completed at least once a month in order to avoid oxidation inside the component;
- checking the wear of the vacuum pump vanes, based on the times indicated in the machine&rsquo;s manual. It&rsquo;s also equally as important to disassemble, clean and reassemble the pump filters at least once a month to avoid vacuum leakage on the suction cups;
