Egger broke ground on its North American corporate offices in North Carolina’s Davidson County. The office building, which is scheduled for completion in early 2019, will house Egger’s North American future office staff. This building also lays the groundwork for future plant operations, which includes an ultramodern particleboard manufacturing plant, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Egger remains on track with project development for the manufacturing facilities. Construction of the plant is expected to start at the end of 2018 and production at the future facility is slated to begin in 2020. The company also plans to establish a training center at this location to train and grow skilled workers in the region.

The office building will house approximately 80 work places and improve access for architects, designers, wholesalers and furniture industry customers to Egger’s wide range of wood-based products and cutting-edge designs.

Egger’s goal with this new location is to tap into the U.S. market and become a significant industry leader through the growing demand for wood-based material products. The North Carolina facility will be a state-of the-art particleboard manufacturing plant and Egger’s first U.S. manufacturing operation. The facility will also benefit the greater Piedmont Triad region by working with local wood suppliers, acquiring wood byproducts from regional sawmills and working with a wide range of suppliers for additional services.
