Historical background
In 1955 Alfons Spoelders started the fabrication of parquet for tabletops made by crafting method. Veneer guillotines were not known and Alfons built the first manual double knife guillotine.
In 1968 Ludy Spoelders began with the invisible lengthening of veneer in the company of his father.
In 1979 he started his own company, which mainly produced edgebandings for the veneer industry with self-made machines, because proper machines were not available. Each company had their way of producing, even now they still does. On demand of competitors, Ludy started to build machines for "competitors" and limited the edgebanding company to the local market and to test new innovations.
In 1987 the company divided in BVBA Ludy Spoelders (manufacturer of edgebandings) en LUDY MACHINERY N.V. (machines).
Ludy Machinery started the development, the design and the assembling of the machines.
Ludy Machinery was the pioneer in innovation:
- first computerised machines with error code
- fast cycle time
- automatic lubrication
- eye for design
- got off the green colour peculiar to woodworking machinery (Its colour is now the most occurring at machine builders, even big ones.).
In the course of the time, they started to produce the parts themselves and an own tool manufacture was born, equipped with the most modern machines. For this, skilled personnel with years of experience in the matrix industry were hired.
