In addition to the acquisition of the modern veneer splicing plant in Raspenava, Czech Republic, Danzer significantly grew its business with deck layers for hardwood flooring. Consequently, the capacities for this business segment will be increased further. In contrast, the demand for logs in China has decreased in line with the economic development there.
Danzer achieved approximately 41.4% of its sales with lumber, followed by veneer with 36.5%, logs with 9.7% and specialty products and custom solutions, eg, 3D-veneer with 12.4%.
"In the furniture sector oak and walnut are still the dominating species. For flooring there is a slight trend towards species in a more clean and less rustic look, although European Oak still is the dominating species," said Danzer.
