Overview

What this category covers

Engineered wood panel production runs from raw-material preparation (chipping, flaking, drying, resin blending) through mat forming, pressing, cooling, sanding and cut-to-size, with automated stacking and handling between stations.

Euro-Wood connects North American panel producers with European manufacturers of individual machines and complete sections of the line. Whether you are adding a sanding line, replacing a press infeed or planning new capacity, we bring the right manufacturer to the table and manage the proposal process.
