Pouwels

Pouwels is a Dutch specialist manufacturer focused on stair-making machinery, and their DEF-50 is a purpose-built machine for producing consistent, accurate stair components at a pace that hand methods cannot match. The machine is designed for joinery businesses and stair specialists who need to produce stairs in volume without compromising on the fit and finish that customers expect. IWM works with Pouwels because stair production is a specialised discipline, and having the right dedicated machinery makes a measurable difference to output quality and efficiency.
