Green River Panels already operates two production lines for particleboard in Asia. The new Thai plant is intended to only process overaged plantation trees of which the latex return runs dry after 25 years. Next to its proximity to large plantations, the optimal access to the shipping ports of the Andaman Sea is part of the locational advantages of the new production site. From these ports Green River Panels will send its products all over the world. The order Green River Panels placed with Siempelkamp includes the entire production plant. Sicoplan, the Belgium Siempelkamp subsidiary, will provide the overall planning of the plant. Modern engineering methods – for example the highly precise site and infrastructure surveying via laser scanning – incorporate all local conditions directly in the CAD plans and thus, guarantee maximum planning reliability. This ensures precise chronological coordination during the future installation phase already during engineering. Green River Panels is scheduled to commence operation with Asia’s largest particleboard plant in 3Q 2019. The plant is designed for a daily capacity of 2,800 m² of particleboard; the installation start is scheduled for October 2018. Green River Panels is one of the leading wood-based products suppliers in Asia. Next to sawed timber from multi-year rubber-wood plantations, the company also offers particleboard made from the same type of wood.
