A&D Wood: Empowering 35 Years of Experience with Akyapak

Company Overview

A&D Wood, one of Serbia’s leading metal structure manufacturers, is renowned for its expertise in steel bridge construction and large-scale projects. With more than 35 years of industry experience, this family-owned company continues to be a pioneer in its region with innovative solutions.

Before the Collaboration

Due to the increasing workload in bridge construction and large-scale steel structure projects, A&D Wood needed a faster, more precise, and higher-capacity solution. Manual methods and outdated technologies were causing delays in production and an increase in costs.

Customer Testimonial “Beyond Our Expectations”

With the 3 ADM Beam Drill Line, our production processes have been completely transformed. Thanks to precision, speed, and automation, we can now complete our work much faster and with confidence. This machine has given us a competitive advantage in our projects.

Company Profile

Challenges

Key issues before working with Akyapak:

A&D Wood relied on manual methods and traditional machines for large-scale steel structure and bridge projects. This caused loss of precision, delays in production, and significant inefficiencies, especially when processing oversized parts. Many processes — cutting, drilling, measuring, marking, and bevelling — required separate teams and long hours. Large-volume projects, such as processing 300 tons of profiles, were nearly impossible to complete manually. This intense workload also increased labor demand and operational costs. A&D Wood needed modern technology to deliver speed, accuracy, and efficiency in its production processes.

Akyapak’s Solution

Advantages of Akyapak Machines:

Akyapak machines combined precision, speed, and reliability, boosting A&D Wood’s competitiveness. With their ease of use and high efficiency, they delivered both labor and time savings.

Ease of Use

It was very easy to install, simple to prepare programs, and very comfortable to operate. Thanks to the training provided by your engineers, we can now independently design, operate, and maintain all processes on our own.

Reliability

We have been using the machines for more than three years and have not experienced any breakdowns. Minor faults did occur, but with your service support, they were resolved within almost 24 hours. In this regard, we are very satisfied.

Precision

Number one is precision. Processing large parts with such accuracy was nearly impossible using manual methods. Now we can cut and drill with millimetric precision.

Speed & Efficiency

Number two is a big speed-up in production and a significant increase in output. We managed to process 300 tons of profiles in a short time. The machine completes all tasks on its own — from cutting and bevelling to drilling, measuring, and marking.
