Give them a quick call before you head out—the Woodworking Department will let you know within two minutes what you can try out on-site and, if needed, schedule a demonstration. Twice a year, you don’t even need an appointment: At the FN Sawing Days in Rostock and the Open House Days in Kronshagen, manufacturers and their staff are on hand, so you can compare multiple solutions in a single day instead of making a decision based on spec sheets.

Family-owned since 1923—and what that means for you

Friedrich Niemann founded the company in Kiel in 1923, initially as a hardware and tool store. It is still run by the Niemann family today, and in 2023 it celebrated its centennial. For you, one thing matters above all else: When you sliding table saw a sliding table saw , you’re committing to a relationship that will last the next fifteen years. Replacement parts, maintenance, a technician who knows the machine—that requires a dealer who will still be around then.

Woodworking is a separate division within a company that also operates in the construction and cleaning technology sectors. As a woodworking professional, you don’t have to take advantage of this breadth—it provides warehousing, logistics, and workshop capacity behind the scenes.

Machines, Brands, and Service All Under One Roof

Anyone who runs a repair shop is familiar with the problem: machines, tools, extraction systems, consumables, and replacement parts come from different suppliers, and when a repair is needed, the search starts all over again. Niemann consolidates all of this within its own specialized department.

Stationary machines: panel saws, vertical panel saws, edge banding machines, planers and drill presses, table routers, sanding and brushing machines, multi-function machines, presses, feed units, shredding equipment, and CNC machining centers. Also: Exhaust and compressed air systems, hand tools and power tools, joining and fastening technology. Brands: Altendorf, Martin, and SCM for panel saws; Striebig and HOLZ-HER for panel saws; HOLZ-HER for edge banding; Hofmann for planing and routing; Kündig for sanding; Ganner for drilling; Barth for presses; Masterwood for CNC; Schuko for dust extraction. For hand tools and power tools, Niemann is an official Festool dealer and a specialist retailer for Schneider compressed air technology.

A machine is an investment in your business’s competitiveness—not just an off-the-shelf purchase. That’s why Niemann starts with a consultation—at your workshop, if you prefer—to discuss which workpieces, which materials, production volumes, available space, and budget. This information forms the basis for our recommendation. The team then handles delivery, installation, commissioning, and training—and, if desired, plans the exhaust system right from the start, without which no machine can operate cleanly.

If your budget isn't quite enough for a new machine yet, Niemann offers certified used machines from its Kiel warehouse: everything from sliding table saw edge-banding and sanding machines, all the way to used machining centers.

However, the advantage of having a local dealer really becomes apparent only when something goes wrong. Niemann operates its own workshops in Kronshagen and Rostock, as well as a spare parts warehouse and field service technicians. Repairs, maintenance, commissioning, and machine relocation are all handled through this network. The FN Academy provides training.
