GROWTH OPORTUNITY FOR SOUTH AMERICAS SAW MILLS
New Ledinek cross laminated timber line in yet another Europe top saw mill
The construction of wooden buildings is booming in EU and around the world. The demand for CLT panels has increased accordingly. In order to satisfy this demand SchilligerHolz AG, Switzerland biggest sawmill, is investing in an automated CLT production line in Volgelsheim, town in France in the border region next to Germany and Switzerland.
The order for the entire production line was placed with Ledinek. At the Volgelsheim location, the new production line will go into operation in the third quarter of 2023. The production capacity will be around 100 m³ per shift or 50,000 m³ / year in two-shift operation.
Decisive for the award to Ledinek was the many years of experience with CLT systems. Thanks to its extensive machine portfolio, Ledinek is really the only full-range supplier in this area. This avoids unnecessary or problematic interfaces by default.
When selecting the supplier for the CLT line, the owner-managed family company relies on the latest findings and technical standards.
We were won over by the performance of individual main machines, the innovative approach and the coherent system concept, says owner and managing director Ernest Schilliger.
Ledinek will also implement new concepts with this system that are unique to date. This is achieved by further developing the existing machines. However, more information will only be given after commissioning.
