Veneer Lathes

Veneer lathes are at the heart of every plywood and veneer business. A veneer lathe needs to be a true workhorse, capable of operating continually through multiple shifts while requiring minimal maintenance and downtime. Over twenty years of innovation in the plywood industry showed us what our clients need from their veneer lathes: exceptional durability, stress-free maintenance, and exacting accuracy. When we engineered the Altec veneer lathe system, we took those lessons to heart.
