Egger has come a long way from the melamine faced boards they are well known for.
Laminates are now a huge part of their business and we are a huge believer in the Egger laminate range and the potential that it has.
Egger drive innovation in all areas, but is at the forefront of the UK Wood Panel Industry for alternatives to real wood.
Egger gives priority to the processing of wood from FSC® and PEFC™ certified forests. All wood purchased is monitored with a strict control process within the scope of the EUTimberReg and other forest certification systems.
Furthermore, Egger forestry plays an is increasingly important role in using environmentally sustainable products, procuring wood through their own forestry companies. This makes Egger a vital partner in the sustainable furniture industry. , meaning they can trace the origins of the wood all the way back to the tree.
Egger chipboard is also manufactured through the task of using sawmill by products such as round wood, sawdust and hack chips in Egger products to encourage a circular economy, and turn waste wood into chipboard core. Their Timberpak sites sourced waste wood for their two chipboard production sites in the UK.
Not only is this valuable service great for the environment, but it works towards maintaining strategic supplies of wood products for product development at Egger's plant. This means they can trace the origins of the wood all the way back to the tree.
