2021 – New milestone in the long-standing partnership between Starwood and Siempelkamp: For its second production plant near Inegöl, the Turkish wood-based materials manufacturer ordered its second thin-board plant for the production of thin MDF/HDF boards. This is the fifth time that Starwood has chosen to use Siempelkamp’s “ContiRoll” press technology and a Siempelkamp plant.

The new high-performance thin board plant is being built at Starwood’s second site near Inegöl, which has so far been used for wood chip production. It supplements the capacity of approx. 750 to 800 m³/day currently being produced on the first 7′ line. The new 8′ line is designed for a capacity of an additional 1,000 m³/day with board thicknesses of 2.7 to 3.0 mm. Their thickness ranges from 1.5 mm to 6 mm. It is therefore geared to the production of thin and ultra-thin boards, but can also be used in furniture board production for MDF and L-MDF up to 22 mm.
