Browns Bedrooms & Kitchens has switched to Norbord Caberwood MDF for the new production line at its Cramlington, Northumberland line.
The company has invested £45m in the new facility, which includes latest laser technology to apply high-gloss PUR acrylic coating to panels, and it has opted for the Caberwood Industrial Grade as its substrate for the plant.
“We chose Caberwood to give us a stronger, heavier door and maximises end product quality,” said managing director Peter Brown.
The new line is still “bedding in”, but Browns estimates that it will be using a trailer, or 300 sheets, of MDF a month when fully on stream later this year.
The company also intends to increase capacity with a new melamine press and says it would use Caberwood in this too.
