Listening to the market to build the future: our 2025

2025 was a year of listening, consolidation, and development. A year in which Salvador Machines strengthened its presence on international markets, continuing to invest in concrete solutions, born from direct dialogue with those who work with wood—and more—every day.

In a complex and constantly evolving industrial context, we have chosen to start from what we know best: dialogue with customers, retailers, and partners. This is where the most solid decisions are made, those capable of transforming into reliable, durable, and truly useful machines in production processes.

A year of discussion in the field

2025 had one of its key moments at LIGNA. The Hannover trade fair was an opportunity for visibility and, above all, a meeting point with different markets, specific needs, and constantly changing applications.

Alongside major international events, the open houses organized by our dealers confirmed their strategic value: they are opportunities for direct dialogue, material testing, and operational comparison.

It is on these occasions that clear signals emerge—from the growing focus on modular automation to interest in non-traditional applications, such as cutting plastics and composite materials.

Versatility and evolving applications

The topic of plastics has been a growing theme throughout 2025. Test requests, applications, and dialogue with customers have confirmed that robustness, precision, and control—characteristics historically associated with Salvador woodworking machines—are now also appreciated in different production areas.

This is not a change of direction, but a natural extension of our expertise: the ability to adapt existing solutions to new contexts while maintaining the same standards of reliability.

Consolidated relationships and new horizons

During the year, we strengthened long-standing relationships and established new partnerships, particularly in certain areas of southern Europe and in developing markets outside Europe. This work was carried out gradually, focusing on trust and continuity, which are fundamental elements for a solid and lasting presence.

A look ahead to 2026

2026 will be a year of development. We are working on new solutions and evolutionary features for existing machines, with the aim of making cutting and optimization processes increasingly efficient and flexible. It will also be a year marked by important events, where we will return to meet the market and share our work. These include: Eurobois in France, Xylexpo in Italy, and HOLZ-HANDWERK in Germany.

2025 has strengthened our foundations. 2026 will be the year in which we continue on this path of growth, with the same attention to detail, the same practicality, and the same willingness to listen to the market in order to drive innovation.
