About Wde Maspell
Wde Maspell designs and constructs dryers and ovens for the high temperature treatment of vacuum wood. Since the early years of the '900 there have been numerous attempts to carry out a process of drying wood through the void, but despite all the studies carried out, it was not possible to make this process industrial. In 1962 Ing. Vincenzo Pagnozzi starts his original research in Turin on the drying of timber with the vacuum method, which will end in 1965 with the filing of the relative patent. On the basis of this invention a company is set up that gradually grows producing machinery and developing new technologies that generate, during the first decades of activity, 89 patents. From 1972 the son Ernesto, current owner, graduated in Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic of Turin with an experimental thesis based on the research of the mathematical model of the vacuum drying of wood. Since 1975 the company, with its participation in the Hanover Fair - Germany - takes on an international face by granting construction licenses in Japan and the United States, thus beginning It is precisely in this context of international distribution that, in 1990, the company MA.FRA ( MASPELL FRANCE ) was founded in France, directed by Eng. Michel Jacquier. In 1994, with the creation of the new company WDE (Wood Drying Engineering), production underwent a considerable boost towards the optimization of production processes, bringing the construction standards of vacuum dryers to the highest quality levels. In 1997 this business model merged with the history of vacuum drying of wood under the name of WDE-MASPELL, a leading company in the sector with over 5000 customers worldwide. Since 2000, the construction and distribution network of WDE MASPELL in the Chinese market uses the partnership of GMI TIMBER DRYING EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING LIMITED (www.sesione.cn ), a company run by Mr. Raymond Yuen. In 2002, following the market needs, the WDE MASPELL BRASIL was founded, a totally Brazilian company run by Mr. Arnaldo Swalkin. In 2008 the technology of WDE-MASPELL meets, through a partnership regarding the Egyptian market, the VAC, a company headed by Mr. Gehad Zakaria. The vacuum drying system developed by Pagnozzi has attracted the worldwide interest of universities and research institutes applied to wood, which have carried out tests and purchased machinery in order to verify the validity of the method.
