Egger’s reputation for high quality product design and innovation have helped them to become one of the leading European companies in the wood-based material industry.
Egger opened their first chipboard plant in St. Johan, Austria in 1961. Owned by the brother Michael and Fritz Egger, the Egger Group grew and grew throughout the 20th Century through a series of acquisitions, expansion and commissions.
In 1984 the group opened their first UK based plant in Hexham, Northumberland. Since then, the plant has been expanded and modernised, with significant investment making it one of the most technologically advanced in Europe.
In July 2005, after many years of us banging at the door, Egger appointed Lawcris as one of the main distributors of Egger products in the UK. Egger’s reputation for high-quality product design and innovation has helped them to become one of the leading European companies in the wood-based material industry. Now well into our second decade of partnership, the relationship is still going strong and we thank Egger for their fantastic support.
Egger work hard to ensure that they adhere to high environmental standards, striving to ensure responsible use of wood, the raw material, as well as utilising resource conserving manufacturing processes. The focus is on a closed material cycle.
Egger has come a long way from the melamine faced boards they are well known for. Laminates are now a huge part of their business and we are a huge believer in the Egger laminate range and the potential that it has.
Egger gives priority to the processing of wood from FSC® and PEFC™ certified forests. All wood purchased is monitored with a strict control process within the scope of the EUTimberReg and other forest certification systems.
Furthermore, Egger is increasingly procuring wood through their own forestry companies, meaning they can trace the origins of the wood all the way back to the tree.
