A family business founded in 1961, it began producing chipboard from sawmill by-products, creating a market for this waste product and diverting it from landfill or biomass. Egger prides itself on its carbon retaining and recyclable materials. Now operating from 22 plants internationally, its materials are specified, fabricated and installed worldwide in multiple sectors.
Cleaf is an Italian company producing innovative surfaces for furniture and interiors, founded in 1975 by the Caspani family. The company is synonymous with high-end products renowned for their exceptional texture design. Its faced panels, laminates and edging, exclusively manufactured at production sites in Brianza, are installed worldwide by architects and companies building inspirational spaces for living and working. Building on a decades-long relationship between the owning families Egger and Caspani, the 2 companies commenced joint projects in 2019. The Egger family now owns 27.5% of Cleaf.
