ABOUT US

Europa Uno Kft was founded 23 years ago in Hungary with Italian partners. The main activity of our company is the processing of white acacia into a final product for the wood industry. Our company always strives to use high-quality Hungarian raw materials, from which it produces a first-class acacia column end product.

White acacia is an excellent raw material for the production and construction of furniture, outdoor constructions and playgrounds. It is popular because it is a very hard, durable type of wood, it has a long service life and is extremely resistant to outdoor conditions. Another important feature is the design, which is unique to each piece, making the acacia objects unique. In our work, we process acacia wood in any size and turn it into a raw end product using traditional technology.

Initially, the acacia was machined manually, by removing the sapwood, milling the splint, and further sanding the surface. Over time, the need to make production more efficient has increased. Thus, with the right motivation to meet the increased market demands, we started working on the development of a mechanized woodworking system that would speed up production. As a result of the work, a prototype of an acacia column processing machine was born, with which we immediately started working.

The system is unique, replacing, speeding up and perfecting previous manual workflows. The difference in quality between the piece of wood machined with this mechanism and the piece of wood machined was immediately noticeable. Immediately after the launch of the first workpieces, the demand for the product jumped, and we received positive feedback from customers on all forums. The finished product is naturalistic, the polished surface is perfect and homogeneous. In addition, machining speeds increase by orders of magnitude for manual machining.

Subsequently, in the project implemented within the framework of the Interreg V-A Hungary-Croatia Cooperation Program, B-light construction, we create a unique system on the market with our Croatian partner company, EKO B&S, for the revolutionary processing of white acacia.

THE INCREASING POSSIBILITIES OF USING THE  ACAIA POLES

Wooden houses

Utilizing the timeless properties of acacia wood, solid, safe wooden houses can be built from wood. Thanks to its unique, naturalistic appearance, it can be used to make a particularly decorative building.

Playgrounds

In the case of playgrounds, the two most important properties are safety and durability. The acacia column has both. The perfectly polished surface and hard material ensure safety, and its special resistance to environmental influences ensures durability.

Others

Thanks to the beautiful appearance and physical properties of acacia, it is also an excellent raw material for the production of home furnishings, furniture and outdoor furniture, for the outdoor decoration of shops or for the construction of outdoor pavilions.

Why is machining better than manual machining?

Benefits and information

The column processing machine developed within the framework of the project increases, among other things, the depth of milling, the quality of grinding, the speed of machining and is automated with the software developed for it.

Manual machining of the acacia column is difficult and time consuming. While with manual work approx. it is possible to machine 5-6 columns per day, with the newly developed machine it can grow up to 30-40 columns per day.

As the columns made with the newly developed machine are of much higher quality, their market value is also higher.
