Homanit GmbH & Co KG, a subsidiary of\u00a0Homann Holzwerkstoffe GmbH\u00a0and a leading supplier of thin, high-quality finished medium-density (MDF) and high-density (HDF) fibreboards, announced extensive investments in its site in Losheim am See, Germany.<\/p>\n
The planned investments include a new fibreboard press as well as further accompanying measures for the finishing of fibreboards in the total amount of Euro 65 million.<\/p>\n
The geostrategic location of the plant was one of the key factors for the comprehensive investments. The Losheim am See plant, which primarily serves the doors industry, benefits from a good supply of raw materials, as it cooperates with regional and sustainable forestry operations and maintains long-term relationships with its suppliers. To further benefit from the advantages of the location and to ensure a sustainable value chain, the company is currently also pushing ahead with the reactivation of the existing track system.<\/p>\n
Initial preparations for the modernization are already underway. The aim is to start production in two years' time. The extensive replacement investments promise state-of-the-art technology at the Saarland site and hold the potential for a expansion of production capacity, while at the same time reducing emissions thanks to an energy-efficient production process.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
