Siempelkamp plant for OSB at Vanachai in Surat Thani, Thailand was accepted. On the one hand, it is the first OSB plant in Southeast Asia. On the other hand, the ContiRoll® with dimensions of 4' x 48.7 m is the longest 4’-ContiRoll® from Siempelkamp.
The new OSB plant, ordered by Siempelkamp in 2017, contributes 700 m3 per day to the total output of the site - that is 210,000 m3 per year. The plant complements Vanachai's production spectrum with OSB and sets new benchmarks in the Southeast Asian wood-based panel market, which has long been dominated by particleboard and MDF plants.
"With the new plant we are setting ourselves ambitious goals for the wood-based panel production of the future. Our boards are produced highly efficiently and according to strict sustainability criteria, and our plants are state-of-the-art. In this respect, Siempelkamp, as a partner with many years of experience and strong innovative capabilities, is the right choice for an ambitious project like this one," says Wanthana Jaroennawarat, Chairman of the Executive Board at Vanachai.
