Flakeboard to install third new melamine press |
|
Flakeboard
announced plans to install its third new melamine press in as many years, this one at its
Duraflake particleboard plant in Albany, Oregon. This press
installation, scheduled for first quarter 2010 start-up, is the final
stage of a melamine expansion plan that began with the purchase of three new presses in 2007.
Kevin
Shotbolt, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said this will offer
melamine surfacing to the company's highly recognized Duraflake® brand
and provide a wide range of TFM specialty products.
Plant
Manager, Dave Leding said that the project represents a significant
investment in the community and the stressed Willamette Valley forest
products industry and is a major investment in Duraflake’s future.
This
final installation will serve the western regions of Canada and the
United States and supply those areas with melamine surfaced Duraflake®
and Premier® products from both the Albany particleboard, and Eugene
MDF plants, respectively.
