Everything under one roof
Crest is a compact team of specialists. Engineering, production, testing, service and after-sales all work from the same building in Raalte. That keeps lines short. The engineer who designs your machine can walk to the shop floor where it is built, and the service technician knows who to ask. For you it means one point of contact, from first sketch to commissioning and for many years after.
Standard machines and custom-built lines
Customers choose Crest for our long experience in industrial laminating applications. Some need a proven standard machine, such as the ES-1600 or the TS-1600. Others have a material or process that no standard machine can handle. Then our engineers design a solution around it: roll-to-roll, roll-to-sheet, sheet-to-sheet or sheet-to-roll, for foam, metal, plastic, glass, rubber and textiles.
From Sallmetall to Crest
Our story starts in the 1980s, when Sallmetall began building laminating machines for the graphic industry. Over the years the focus shifted to industrial laminators for sectors such as automotive, signage and electronics.
In 2016 Crest Dutch Machinery was founded out of Sallmetall. The name is new, the knowledge is not: we build on more than four decades of laminating machine engineering.
What we promise
We build your machine in close consultation with you. You talk directly to the people who design and build it. We test before we ship, we commission on site and we stay involved with service and spare parts. The best part of our work starts when we begin designing your solution.
