Swiss Krono Group, one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of wood-based materials, continues to invest in rural its US plant in Barnwell, South Carolina.\u00a0 The Swiss-based company is building a 250,000-square-foot expansion on its existing Barnwell manufacturing facility, with help from the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The expansion includes the construction of a new medium-density fiberboard (MDF) manufacturing line, ancillary wood yard, energy plant and waste treatment facilities, as well as the installation of a fourth laminate flooring line.\u00a0<\/span>With this expansion, the plant will produce laminate flooring, MDF, high-density fiberboard (HDF), laminated panels for the furniture industry and treated papers for use in laminate applications. Currently, the facility only produces laminate flooring and treated paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose for the expansion was for backward integration, which will allow\u00a0Swiss Krono\u00a0USA to produce the board currently purchased for manufacturing laminate flooring (reduction in costs) and to move into new markets,\u201d said Robert Dichiara, vice president and chief financial officer of\u00a0Swiss Krono\u00a0USA. \u201cOur plan is to increase our market share of laminate flooring sold in the U.S. at the expense of imports. \u2026 Two-thirds of our new high density\/medium density panel production will be used in our existing flooring operations and one-third will be sold into furniture manufacturing, automotive, cabinet and other applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deborah La Franchi, president of the National New Markets Fund, said the expansion is expected to create 105 new permanent jobs and 500 construction jobs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
