Growing together

A lot has happened at the plant in Caorso (IT) since it was integrated into the EGGER Group. In focus: growing together and investing in future-oriented production. A tour with Plant Director Sergio Doriguzzi proves that challenges and innovations are best mastered together.

Growing together

As Plant Director for Technology and Production and part of the founding family, Sergio Doriguzzi knows the plant in Caorso (IT) inside out. During a visit, he explains which milestones have already been achieved together and what is planned for the future.

Our long-term vision focuses on global sustainability that is both environmentally and socially oriented.

Investments in the future

Since EGGER acquired 60% of the shares in the Italian wood-based material manufacturer SAIB in December 2022, the plant in Caorso has been an important part of the Group. More than EUR 40 million have been invested in the 300-employee location since then in order to standardise processes and drive forward projects in the green industry sector.

Pioneering steps in climate action

" Since February 2025, our new thermal oil boiler has ensured that the plant produces without natural gas during normal operation. That's 16,000 tonnes fewer fossil CO₂ emissions per year, " says Sergio Doriguzzi, standing in front of a huge facility.

A further step towards fulfilling EGGER's Net Zero climate protection target. The good cooperation between the experts at the plant and the Group was crucial to this success.

Values and appreciation

Creating stronger things together

The IT integration of the Italian plant into the Group-wide EGGER network and SAP system has been completed. In addition to many other projects, such as the expansion of dry chip processing or an automated packaging line, the topic of work safety has also been optimised."I particularly appreciate this focus at EGGER," says a delighted Sergio Doriguzzi. " After all, this is about protecting the most important part of our company – the people. "

"I always compare our growing together with marriage: two people decide to live together to create something stronger. That's the vision we all share."

From the root to the plant

EGGER embraces the cascading use of wood as a valuable resource in its efforts to utilise raw materials efficiently. Christian Witte uses the example of the plant in Brilon (DE) to show how state-of-the-art technologies and sustainable forestry merge at EGGER.

From the root to the plant

Christian Witte manages Wood Purchase for the EDP Central division and optimises the supply chains for the EGGER plants in Central Europe. We travelled with him in and around our plant in Brilon (DE). This is where state-of-the-art technology and sustainable forestry merge.

For EGGER, it is crucial to find sustainable solutions in wood procurement that make both economic and ecological sense.

Forest in balance

"Only as much wood is harvested as can grow back," says Christian Witte. This principle of sustainable forestry is central to EGGER in order to ensure a long-term supply of raw materials. This is the basic prerequisite for being able to use wood as a climate-friendly material.

"Sustainable supply chains are of central importance to us," explains Christian Witte. ”We seek to purchase materials within a radius of 150 kilometres of our plants wherever possible.”

This minimises transport emissions and strengthens the relationship with partners. "Through these direct partnerships," explains Christian Witte, "we can also ensure that our high standards are maintained."

Transparency in the supply chain

This means that EGGER fulfils all legal requirements regarding the legality and transparency of the wood used. In addition, we rely on control measures by independent third parties and favour wood from certified forests, wherever available, as proof of sustainable forestry.

Around 3,600 partner companies supply wood to the EGGER locations throughout the Group. The wood sorts are divided into three main groups: roundwood, sawmill by-products and recycled wood.

Cascading use: a model of raw material efficiency

Also so-called industrial wood - that is thin, crooked, knotty trunks, thinning or calamity wood caused by
storms or snow breakage - is upgraded into wood-based materials. Only at the very end of its life should wood be used to generate energy.

The fully integrated plant in Brilon demonstrates how EGGER implements its sustainable principles. "The objective of cascading use is to maximise the value-added by raw materials and keep them in the material cycle for as long as possible in successive steps," explains Christian Witte.

Sensible utilisation for every wood quality

We prevent sawmill by-products and recycled wood from simply being incinerated and feed them back into our production process. This is the supreme discipline of cascading use.
