In the northwesternmost corner of Germany, in the Lower Saxony region very close to the Dutch border, the Gather Brennholz company, specializing in firewood production, serves a precisely defined customer base. The company aims to operate sustainably, and applies this principle in machinery choices.
Last year, Gather Brennholz decided to acquire a new firewood processor to support the company’s strategy as a producer of small-sized firewood for the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly combustion possible. After careful consideration, the company’s owner, Simon Gather and his partners chose the Japa 435 and the FEED 471 hydraulic log deck. “Our decision was based on several factors – technical features, previous experiences, and practical needs,” says Simon Gather.
Simon Gather elaborates on the reasons for the machine choice: “The market for firewood processors is vast and diverse, offering everything from very simple machines to extremely advanced and efficient equipment. From this wide range of options, we chose the Japa 435 because we were profoundly impressed by its carefully designed structure. Not only is it a top quality machine, it also has certain unique features such as the Perfect CleanTMwood cleaning system, which significantly improves work efficiency and the quality of the final product.”
Simon Gather states that his company already had positive experience with the Japa 365 Road Pro+: “We were already convinced of Japa’s quality and the durability of its machines – qualities we greatly appreciate. Good and close cooperation with our dealer also influenced our decision. The dealer is located only about a two-hour drive away, which ensures prompt support and good availability of spare parts. In daily operations, this is very important for us to maximize production time.”
Acquiring the Japa 435 was a well-considered and strategic decision for Gather Brennholz. Simon Gather summarizes the significance of the successful machine choice for the company’s business: “We have been pleased with the machine’s operation and are convinced that we chose the right solution for us – a machine that meets our requirements and supports us in our work in the long term.”
