Egger launched the ground-breaking ceremony. In Biskupiec, Poland, an ultramodern production plant for 650,000 cubic metres of chipboard will be built by the end of 2018, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The international corporate group with headquarters in St. Johann in Tirol, Austria, is investing approximately Euro 250 million in this location. There will be approximately 400 jobs in the Egger plant, and an addition 600 indirect jobs with suppliers or service providers.
“I am very proud of the fact that we will build our 19th plant in Poland, in the heart of the European furniture industry. We’ve been active in Poland already since the early 1990s, and are successfully working with more than 150 local customers. With our growing chipboard plant, we will be able to serve the growing market in Poland and in the neighbouring regions even better,” announced Michael Egger during the ground-breaking ceremony.
The Biskupiec plant will have ultramodern facilities that are based on the latest available production technology and environmental knowledge. The entire site covers 85 hectares. The current construction phase focuses on production lines for raw and laminated chipboard. The systems are designed for the production of 650,000 cubic metres raw chipboard. A large part of it is coated with melamine resin film.
