Since 1961, EGGER has been driven by a passion for more sustainable solutions. With a responsibility to future gener- ations, EGGER offers a transparent service that discloses who they are, what they do and how they act for clients. Driven by the brand’s values of respect, quality and prog- ress, EGGER practises a closed loop production line with sustainable forestry, use of sawmill by-products, material production and processing, planning and application, recy- cling and renewable energy. Deepening the company’s practice of supplying the architecture and design industry, EGGER’s closed loop planning helps to deliver sustain- ably progressive materials for flooring, building products, decorative building products and products for furniture and interior design. Officially recognised with Forest Stewardship Certifi- cation (FSC®) and by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), EGGER ensures that all materials used are in line with its company ethos. “EGGER is committed to the UN 17 Sustainability Development Guide (SDGs),” explains John Dalla Via, ForestOne National Business Development Manager – Decorative.

Produced in Europe, with sales offices worldwide, EGGER is truly a world leader in the supply of sustainably sourced architectural products. Enabling the cooperative relationship between clients and suppliers, EGGER works with specifiers to meet their clients' design requirements, “knowing that [the] latest decorative trends and technology are available to them and their customers,” says John. Not only does the company use the latest technology and pro- cesses to provide high-quality, durable products, EGGER is also regularly audited by globally recognised monitoring companies. Summarising all relevant data through the Envi- ronmental Product Declarations (EPDs), EGGER empowers clients to take control of their own environmental footprint when specifying their products. “Sustainability is not hard to achieve while still being on trend with the best in decora- tive wood-based products,” John explains. Beginning as a family-run company, EGGER has grown to establish sales offices around the world, contin- uously supplying high-quality products to clients. Creating enduring decorative choices for wall panelling, flooring, worktops and much more, EGGER’s resourcefulness in providing innovative wood-based materials sees the brand continue to expand its reach.
