EGGER Holzwerkstoffe

YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION 2013 | WISMAR/GERMANY

In 1961 the Tyrolean entrepreneur Fritz Egger proved himself a man of vision and founded his first chipboard plant. In order not to be a competitor for the suppliers of his new resource – sawmill waste – he simply closed down the prosperous family sawmill. Today the EGGER Group is one of the internationally leading wood processing companies. Almost on an annual basis new production plants are built, bought or modernized. With 17plants in six countries and about 7,100employees EGGER serves the furniture industry, wood retailers, building centers and DIY stores with 7.4 million m3 of wood composite and timber
