The location of the site near an abundant wood basket allows Kronospan PB to draw wood fiber from forests, sawmills, and other manufacturers within a 90 mile radius around its site. As one would expect from a company with well over 100 years\u2019 experience in the wood products industry, Kronospan\u2019s latest project in the U.S. will exceed standards for the efficient and environmentally sensitive use of timber. Kronospan PB was also constructed with the technology to constantly monitor and efficiently utilize water and energy resources.<\/p>\n<p>According to the announcement, the Kronospan Particleboard plant will create 120 jobs through direct employment of local residents with a total of 340 full time positions in the state of Alabama; this does not include the 400 plus jobs associated with plant construction.<\/p>\n<p>The plant will have an estimated annual impact on the state\u2019s economy of $78 Million USD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Kronospan:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The company is a leading global producer and distributor of wood-based panels, including Particleboard (PB), Medium density fibreboard (MDF), Laminate flooring, oriented strand board (OSB), as well as other products like UF, MUF and MF resins for wood-based panels and also other associated value added products, such as melamine-faced panels, worktops, wall panels, window sills, lacquered HDF, compact boards, high pressure laminates (HPL) and others.
