New order is part of expansion and modernization project at Sanem site in Luxembourg
Kronospan plans on investing 330 million euros at its Sanem site in Luxembourg over the next four years. Before the planned new construction of a particleboard plant in the second project phase, the existing OSB plant will be partially refurbished and modernized.
The multi-opening plant, in operation since 1996, was one of the first OSB production plants in Western Europe. After more than 20 years of operation, it will be replaced by a continuous production line with CPS+. In addition to the press, the order also covers the forming station, the forming line, the finishing line (comprising a diagonal saw, large stack formation and large stack storage) as well as the conveyor technology, the filter systems and the press exhaust air treatment. The execution and supervision of the assembly are also included in the Dieffenbacher scope of supply.
This cutting-edge plant was planned entirely using 3D design tools. This allowed Dieffenbacher to fine-tune the plant structure to the conditions at the site, largely avoiding additional preparatory work for Kronospan. The contract was signed at the end of May, and commissioning is set for autumn 2018.
The project continues the long-standing collaboration between Dieffenbacher and Kronospan, especially in the area of OSB. Sanem will be the sixth OSB project completed by Dieffenbacher for Kronospan in less than 15 years. Kronospan also produces OSB panels using Dieffenbacher plants in Jihlava (Czech Republic), Riga (Latvia), Brasov (Romania), Mogilev (Belarus) and Strzelce Opolskie (Poland).

La Red de Comunicadores Forestales y Ambientales de América Latina y el Caribe (RECOFALC) se propuso impulsar una campaña que ayude a desmitificar el uso de los árboles artificiales por sobre los naturales. «Estos se producen principalmente a partir de petróleo, generando una alta huella de carbono. Además, su transporte a largas distancias y su desecho posterior en toneladas de plástico y hierro agravan su impacto ambiental. Optar por árboles naturales cultivados localmente no solo reduce el impacto en las emisiones, sino que también fomenta economías locales y el uso sostenible de la tierra?, destacan desde RECOFALC.
