According to the latter, this makes Lawcris its biggest single-site customer and its sales of Kronospan products are forecast to grow further in 2007, despite the market place remaining “extremely aggressive” and margins “getting tighter”.
“Our relationship with Kronospan began 16 years ago when we started to purchase its standard grade MDF,” said Lawcris managing director Simon Hall. “Five years ago, we expanded into supplying the company’s decorative panel portfolio, Kolorband, and since then we have grown the business.”
He added that for 2007 the company will stock all of Kronospan’s latest decorative panel designs. It predicts increasing growth in demand for natural texture decorative finishes, particularly darker wood effects such as walnut.
Lawcris’ total turnover is in excess of £30m.
