- An innovative wood fibre mat-preheating unit to expand capacity in particleboard line 2.
- A new short-cycle thermally fused laminate press adding capacity for high-end surface structures and finishes.
Both investments will be implemented in early 2016.
Both investments will strengthen Uniboard's overall network of particleboard, MDF and thermally fused laminate facilities which are located in Sayabec, Val-d'Or, Mont-Laurier and Laval, Quebec. Uniboard employs a skilled workforce of 380 at its Sayabec site and over 800 people within the entire corporation.
Uniboard Canada Inc. is a leading North American manufacturer of engineered wood products, with an installed capacity of over 640 million square feet of raw particleboard, high-density and medium-density fiberboard, of which over 50% is converted into value-added thermally fused laminate and laminate flooring products.
