The German Wood company Ilim Timber uses 16-5M900 X-Tend Sigma or 16-6M500 HT PET straps in their production.

At the German production site of the international Ilim Timber group more than 2.000.000 m³ of timber are processed every year. The company offers sawn timber products for a wide range of applications.

The finished wooden product is strapped either fully automatically or by hand. Depending on the length of the product, PET XT or X-Tend is used to strap the pieces two to four times into bundles. Depending on the final application, a protective fil is then applied manually, double strapped and loaded by forklift. The final packages are moved for intermediate storage either under cover or in the open storage area.

The picture shows the cut timber, strapped three times ready for intermediate storage.
