About Tischlerei André Behncke
The Tischlerei André Behncke in Vellahn is a master carpentry business with 20 employees specializing in the manufacture of wooden windows and entrance doors. Its range of services covers design, production and installation from a single source, including the restoration and faithful reproduction of windows and doors in heritage-listed buildings. Since 2018, window production has been carried out predominantly on a 5-axis CNC machine, producing 54 window types; design and programming are computer-aided using the Klaes software. The workshop has a CNC planer, sanding machine, crane system, extraction system and a drying system for painting. Upon request, components are manufactured with burglar resistance (RC2, RC3), sound insulation up to sound protection class V, or with thermal insulation glazing; sliding doors with clear opening widths of over three metres are also part of the programme. In addition to the construction/building elements sector, the business serves heritage conservation projects as well as private and commercial construction, and also installs abroad (including France, Sardinia, Mallorca). Premium-grade timber is used as raw material, with optimization software to reduce cutting waste; residual wood is used for technical heat generation.
