Products
Pfleiderer Engineered Wood operates in the engineered wood market, manufacturing raw particleboard,
melamine-faced chipboard (MFC), high-pressure laminate (HPL) and post-forming elements.
Following its take-over of the MDF production plant at Nidda from the HORNITEX Group in November
2004, Pfleiderer Engineered Wood made a strategic extension to its product portfolio. As
a result, it is now able to offer customers a full range of engineered wood products from own
production. The major part of sales in Germany comes from melamine-faced chipboard, which
accounts for 45.5 percent of the sales of the Business Unit West. This is followed by raw particleboard
(including tongue and groove board) which accounts for 21.3 percent.
With its brands wodego®, Thermopal® and Pfleiderer, Pfleiderer Engineered Wood markets
engineered wood carriers. The main products are particleboard, MDF and OSB board, either in
raw form or with various facings in a range of styles and color decors. Pfleiderer manufactures
a wide range of engineered surface structures, board thicknesses, melamine and ABS edgings
are directed at specialist retail outlets, architects, interior designers, shop fitters and furniture
manufacturers. Its focused system of logistics enables it to supply customers within 48 hours.
