Fantoni group plans new MDF plant
april 17, 2015
The Italian wood-based panels and office furniture manufacturer Fantoni group has announced investments of EUR 60 million in the construction of a new plant for MDF production. As Italian media reports, the group thus wants to increase competitiveness and to improve environmental impact. The announcement was made by Giovanni Fantoni, the owner of the group, during a recent conference.
At the conference, Fantoni has also presented data on Italian wood furniture sector: the industry fell 14 billion in revenue, a decrease of 14,000 companies and the loss of 60,000 jobs since the beginning of the economic crisis. Fantoni also stated that these data can be partially offset by the activity of exports in 2015, which may reach pre-crisis levels.
Fantoni group is an Italian leader in the production of MDF, chipboard panels and office furniture. Fantoni has an income of more than 400 million euros, with more than 1500 employees among the eight companies that compose the Group
