Powering Timber Frame Production in the UK & Ireland with H&M Machines

Established in 1985 and based in the Netherlands, H&M Machines – now part of Bos Machines – builds automated timber frame assembly equipment alongside the HM-D, HM-T and HM-Z ranges of automatic crosscut saws, all engineered specifically for timber frame construction.

36 Years of Timber Frame Excellence

JJ Smith’s partnership with H&M Machines began in 1990, when we brought their machinery to the UK market for the first time. Since then, H&M’s automatic crosscut saws, assembly stations and working stations have become a familiar sight on timber frame production lines across the UK and Ireland – helping manufacturers improve workflow, boost efficiency and increase output.

H&M is committed to making a difference and driving progress in the construction industry with their woodworking machinery. We are proud to supply some of their most popular machines, including:

• H&M HM-D - a heavy-duty automatic push-fed upstroke crosscut saw for specialist applications.
• H&M X-Frame - a fully automatic timber frame assembly machine for timber frame panel wall production.
• H&M HM-T - a push fed, automatic angle crosscut saw for specialist applications.
• H&M - X-Multi - a fully automatic multifunction nailing bridge for nailing or stapling sheet material onto timber frames.

Success Stories in Timber Frame Manufacturing

JJ Smith has installed H&M machinery at timber frame manufacturers across the UK and Ireland, helping them to keep pace with the demand for new housing. 

Walker Timber Engineering

For over 100 years, Walker Timber Engineering has been at the forefront of UK timber frame construction, now producing 30 units a week for national house builders across two UK facilities. To sustain that growth, they needed to automate – so we supplied the H&M X-Frame, a fully automatic timber frame assembly machine. The result: a 20% increase in output per man-hour.
