    Kuratle Group and Raurica Wald build timber factory in Aargau

    A sustainable production facility for wood processing is to be built on the former premises of the CPH Group in Full-Reuenthal, the Lucerne-based chemical and paper holding company informs in a statement. It has sold a plot of land on the site, which it used until 2002, to Full Property AG. The company is owned by the wood-processing Kuratle Group from Leibstadt AG and the Basel-based Raurica Wald AG, which specialises in investments in the forestry and timber industry.

    The new plant will process local roundwood into construction timber using energy from renewable sources. Until now, such timber construction materials have been imported, the statement said. “We are pleased that innovative companies that contribute to climate protection with a sustainable business concept are operating on our former company site,” Peter Schildknecht, CEO of the CPH Group, is quoted there. Several companies, including two recycling firms, have already set up shop on the former CPH production site, which covers an area of around 30 football pitches.

  • Schilliger Holz AG plans a new plant in Perlen

    Schilliger Holz AG plans a new plant in Perlen

    Schilliger Holz AG from Küssnacht is planning to build a new production plant for wood fiber insulation panels in Perlen. According to a media release, this is to be built on the Perlen Papier AG factory site. The CPH Group , to which Perlen Papier AG belongs, will hand over a land area of 20,000 square meters to the wood processing company with building rights.

    Schilliger Holz AG is one of the main suppliers of wood chips to Perlen Papier AG. One of their sawmills is already located right next to the paper mill in Perlen. Thanks to the new plant, the two companies will work even more closely together: Perlen Papier AG will supply the new plant with electricity, process steam, fresh water and fully demineralized water. In addition, it will treat the waste water produced in the company’s own sewage treatment plant.

    “We are pleased to be able to realize synergies in industrial wood processing together with Schilliger Holz AG at the Perlen location. In this way, Perlen will become the center for sustainable recycling of the important resource wood in Switzerland ”, Peter Schildknecht, CEO of the CPH Group, is quoted in a press release from his company.

    According to Schilliger Holz AG, there has been “no more insulation board production in Switzerland for a long time”. With the implementation of the new plant, the company therefore wants to close a “large gap in the Swiss wood processing chain”. Wood fiber insulation boards are used, for example, for the thermal insulation of the outer shell surfaces of buildings.

    The project is currently in the planning phase. Commissioning is scheduled for 2023.
