Ute Klement is the daughter of company founder Peter Klement and grew up with Holtec. She has been with the ocmpany since 1997 and now leads it in the second generation together with Alexander Gebele. As the owner, Ute Klement is responsible for finance and all matter relating to personnel.

Alexander Gebele has been with Holtec since 1998. Raised in a sawmill family, he was familiar with this technology from an early age. At Holtec, he is responsible for technology, innovation, sales and marketing. His main tasks include on site customer consulting, project processing and the further development of machines and systems. 

Since its founding in 1970, Holtec has been based in the Eifel community of Hellenthal. The site focuses on development, design, production and sales. On a production area of around 8,000 m², high quality systems for the wood processing industry are manufactured. We also handle all service inquiries at this location. 

Another major production site is located in Jänkendorf, Saxony. Production and administration are based on the former site of an agricultural machinery factory. Holtec established this location in 1990 and expanded it ten years later with a second production hall. The branch specializes in the production of chain conveyors, stair feeders for the wood-based material industry, waste conveyors, mobile package crosscut saws as well as Holtec guide bars - the heart of every package crosscut saw.
