Engineered wood based panel manufacturer, Norbord, has completed the final phase of a £25m investment programme at its site in Cowie, Scotland.
The investment improves and extends the particleboard operations and includes the replacement of a forming station and pre-press components.
Karl Morris, managing director of Norbord Europe, said: “The installation of a state-of-the-art continuous press has already allowed us to considerably grow our market share in flooring and other construction-related products.
“Work continued on a ‘24 hours a day, seven days a week’ basis while the forming stations were replaced and the new forming bins installed.
“The completion of the final stage of works has provided us with added operating flexibility, a broader product mix, further quality improvements, capacity growth of over 10 % and a reduction in total manufacturing costs.
