market leader in the field of raw particleboard. Driving forward consolidation of domestic<br />
production capacity has led to a positive stabilization in prices. Due to high foreign demand,<br />
production plants in the industry are now generally running at full capacity. <strong>Pfleiderer</strong><br />
