Biesse, Leitz and The Joinery Network Team up for Live Event

For the first time, Biesse and Leitz have joined forces to invite The Joinery Network members to a CNC Manufacturing Open Day dedicated to transforming the way timber windows and doors are made.

This exclusive event will introduce attendees to TJN’s innovative LIGNUM tooling system – designed to revolutionise production efficiency and profitability.

The event is hosted by Biesse at its UK HQ in Daventry NN11 8YZ. The full-day event is packed with demos and info, with the teams from Biesse, Leitz and TJN on hand.

Plus, there will be an Expert Marketplace where attendees can meet affiliates and partners including BJ Waller, Teknos, JoinerySoft, and Excel Finance.

The day will include a Lignum CNC Demonstration where attendees will watch a sash window manufactured live on a Biesse Rover CNC, and see how Lignum tooling eliminates test cuts and reduces sanding.And, as with all the TJN face-to-face events, networking plays a big part in connecting with peers, exchanging ideas, and gaining valuable technical insights.

Ben Mitchell, Marketing Manager at Leitz, said: “We’re excited to be showcasing LIGNUM in collaboration with Biesse. The feedback we’ve had on the LIGNUM system has been amazing and we’re looking forward to showcasing how we can improve efficiency and productivity when CNC manufacturing.

“While the day is primarily focused on TJN, our event is open to anyone thinking about getting a CNC for manufacturing windows and doors, and this makes it the perfect place to get more information.

“Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting event.”

Tickets are just £10 per person, with all proceeds donated directly to Roots to Wellbeing (CIC Charity) – a vital service that relies on community support and volunteers.
