On the second day of Ligna 2017, Vietnam-based wood-based panel producer Thien Lam Dat JSC and German wood processing technology provider Dieffenbacher GmbH sealed the deal for a complete MDF plant in Bac Giang, about 50 km east of Hanoi.
The raw material for the MDF production will come from Thien Lam Dat’s plantations and will be mostly acacia wood. Start-up of the plant is planned for mid-2018.
We began to plant fast-growing tree plantations with the objective of producing wood-based panels eleven years ago. During the years we have visited more than 30 plants in Europe to study the technology and find the right supplier for our project. This long journey consequently resulted in our partnership with Dieffenbacher, which we are very proud to announce today here at the Dieffenbacher booth, said Dang Quoc Lich, Chairman of the Board, Thien Lam Dat during the signing ceremony.
According to Lich, it was very important for Thien Lam Dat that all of the equipment will be manufactured in Europe. The core of the plant will be the CPS+ press system. The scope of supply includes the complete production line, from the wood yard through the strapping and packing line as well as an energy plant.
We are happy that all our efforts were rewarded. I am sure that it will be a very fruitful cooperation and that the new MDF plant will be a great success for Thien Lam Dat, said Christian Dieffenbacher, Member of the Board of Management, Dieffenbacher.
The value of the order has not been disclosed.
