Egger has also announced an additional $22 million investment to install a decorative paper impregnation line. This new line will supply locally produced, resin-infused decorative papers to the lamination lines, allowing the company to have greater production flexibility to better meet the needs of its customers. Construction is expected to be completed this summer.

Junior Project Manager Jamali Lewis signs the first board, an EGGER tradition when a new lamination line begins production.

“Currently, we import impregnated papers from our manufacturing facility in St. Johann in Tyrol, Austria,” says Markus Frevert, Plant Manager for Production at Egger. “Ideally, the impregnated papers should be laminated within six months for optimal quality. Local impregnation will eliminate up to three months of shipping time, resulting in a longer lifespan for the papers, which will significantly reduce waste and costs, improve our service for special orders and shorten lead times.”

The new lamination and impregnation lines, representing a more than $42 million investment and 40 new jobs, will work in tandem to increase TFL production capacity while allowing Egger to better serve the needs of its customers in North America.
