The Egger Group purchased Rauch chipboard plant in Markt Bibart, Germany. The chipboard plant has so far belonged to the Rauch Group. The company has been manufacturing and selling high-quality wardrobe and bedroom ranges for over 125 years. In 1958, Rauch took over the chipboard plant and from then on was able to produce its own chipboard for furniture manufacturing.
The chipboard plant now supplies not only Rauch furniture plants but also other national and international furniture and door customers. After the sale of the chipboard plant, the Rauch Group will focus fully on the further development of its furniture plants in order to further expand its strong market position.
Subject to approval by the cartel law authorities, the chipboard plant in Markt Bibart will be the 22nd production plant of the globally active Egger Group. Rauch Group's furniture plants remain unaffected by the takeover.
Egger is a global leader in the manufacturing of wood-based materials for the furniture and interior design, flooring and building products industries.
