EPAC B.V. boosts production capabilities with the first Hanwha Decan L1 installed in the Benelux

EPAC B.V. has taken a major step forward in strengthening its production capacity with the installation of the first Hanwha Decan L1 machine in the Benelux. This milestone underlines our ongoing commitment to investing in advanced technology and continuously expanding our manufacturing capabilities to meet growing market demands.

Investing in advanced technology for better production

The Hanwha Decan L1 is a state-of-the-art SMT platform designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, accuracy, and throughput. By being the first company in the Benelux to deploy this next-generation equipment, EPAC positions itself at the forefront of technological innovation—offering higher product quality, faster turnaround times, and improved flexibility.

This installation is part of a broader long-term strategy focused on growth and continuous improvement. EPAC B.V. has now invested in five Hanwha pick & place machines in just seven years — a clear KPI showing that customer expectations are not only met but consistently exceeded.

To support increasing demand and prepare for future expansion, EPAC has already placed an order for a second Hanwha Decan L1, which is scheduled for delivery in Q1 2026. This additional machine will significantly increase scalability and enable even more reliable and responsive service to our customers.

Strong collaboration with SMANS NV

The smooth delivery, installation, and integration of the Hanwha Decan L1 were made possible through our excellent cooperation with SMANS NV. Their expertise and support played an essential role in ensuring a seamless transition and optimal machine performance from day one.

EPAC B.V. is very pleased with this partnership and looks forward to continuing the collaboration as we further expand our production capabilities.

What this means for our customers

With the Hanwha Decan L1 now fully operational—and a second one on the way—EPAC B.V. is well-positioned to deliver:

• Increased production speed through advanced high-performance features

• Improved product quality thanks to precision engineering and process stability

• Greater flexibility to support a wider range of customer requirements

• Scalability that prepares us for sustained growth in the years ahead

These benefits will further strengthen our competitive edge and ensure we continue to deliver the reliability, quality, and performance our customers expect.

Looking ahead

The investment in two Hanwha Decan L1 machines, combined with our long-term commitment to Hanwha technology, reflects EPAC B.V.’s clear focus on innovation and sustainable growth. By embracing cutting-edge equipment and fostering strong partnerships, we are building a solid foundation for a bright and future-ready production environment.
