Egger, one of the world's leading wood-based solutions suppliers, has completed its first raw particleboard production, marking the start of operations at its new manufacturing facility in Lexington.<\/em><\/p>\n

Employees watched as the first panel underwent the final stages of production, transforming raw wood chips into a finished board as the raw materials moved through the press and finishing line.<\/p>\n

Production of particleboard, as well as thermally fused laminate (TFL), will be a major focus for the Lexington plant. Particleboard is usable for a large number of applications and well suited for laminate bonding due to its triple-layer structure with a sturdy core layer and a surface layer composed of finer particles.<\/p>\n

The start of production comes as the company prepares to launch its first Egger Decorative Collection on October, 1, with a full range of decorative surface options, including TFL, lacquered boards, laminates and edge banding.<\/p>\n

Egger's Lexington facility is the company's first manufacturing plant in North America. Development and construction of the three-phase project began in 2018.<\/p>\n

The first phase, a state-of-the-art particleboard manufacturing plant with lamination capacities, reached a key milestone in September 2020 with the start of production. The project involves an investment of approximately $700 million and will create an estimated 770 direct jobs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
