_ EGGER sawmill in Brilon EGGER SAWMILL IN BRILON RIGHT IN THE HEART OF EUROPE OUR SAWMILL IN BRILON WAS BUILT IN 2008. THEREBY WE, AS A WOOD-BASED PRODUCTS COMPANY, CAME BACK TO OUR ROOTS. More than half a century ago, Fritz Egger Snr. laid the foundation to a remarkable development in establishing a sawmill in St. Johann in Tyrol. First producing chipboard in 1961, EGGER has become a leading producer of wood-based products in Europe. Located in the heart of Europe, Brilon is surrounded by vast areas of forest, providing an excellent location for the sawmill. The site is fully integrated in the existing production of wood-based products and enables us to exploit various synergies. Our well-conceived logistics via truck and railway is for your benefit. Hochsauerland, the region in which the Brilon sawmill is located, is 70 % forested, so we can draw upon extensive woodland, within the richest forest in the whole of Germany. The quality of the wood originating in this region and the people s attachment to wood as a resource, make Brilon the ideal site for our sawmill.

Our committed employees in the wood purchasing department serve as regional contact persons for our partners in the forestry and distribution sector. Supplying logs for the sawmill, our partners are in a good position to profit from our proximity to the wood-based products facility. As a fully integrated site we can accept the whole range of products offered by our forestry partners. Consequently even smaller dimension logs out of forest thinnings can be utilised. This means our suppliers benefit and we can avail ourselves to new optimized purchases. Environmental protection starts with sustainable forestry Responsible and sustainable forestry is a top priority for EGGER. This principle is anchored in our core values.

_ FROM TREE TO PRODUCT A CLOSED CYCLE WE ORIENTATE OURSELVES TOWARDS THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA OF SUSTAINABILITY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT OUR ACTIONS TODAY DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF OUR FUTURE LIVING ENVIRONMENT. AS A CONSEQUENCE WE GAVE IN OUR MISSION STATEMENT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY TO THE SUSTAINABLE USAGE OF RAW MATERIALS. Therefore we depend upon fully integrated plants where we substantially utilise wood. This principle is used in the timber production as well as in the production of chipboards, MDF-boards, wood-based products in general and laminate floorings. Residual wood and recycled timber which cannot be used in the production are burned in our own biomass power plant and transformed into energy for the production process. In this way we utilise the re-usable material in an optimal climate-friendly manner. In our ecological cycle we have given consideration to all processes and to our philosophy. An essential contribution to a healthy and complete living environment is the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Wood products which we use do have a clear advantage regarding climate change: they are carbon dioxide neutral, because through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is bound in the wood. By the substantial and thermal utilisation of wood, we are contributing to the reduction of the climate-damaging greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. sawmill From the tree to the product the ecology lifecycle illustrates all processes. 15
_ OUR PLANT: STATE-OF-THE-ART Production FACILITIES OUR PLANT: STATE-OF-THE-ART Production FACILITIES Innovative sawmilling technology and synergistic benefits by the linking to the on-site wood-based products are a guarantee of considerable advantages for us both. Thanks to a direct railway link, we are able to ensure environmentally friendly transportation and delivery structures. The five hectare log yard gives a stock capacity of 80,000 m³ logs. Long logs from 6 to 20 m and short logs from 3 to 5 m are stored and processed. Inbound logs are measured with calibrated 3D equipment. With 20 sophisticated kiln chambers, there is a kilning capacity of c. 370,000 m³ available. The thermal energy needed for the kilning process is taken from the on site biomass power plant. In the sawing hall, logs from 3.0 to 5.4 m length and from 12 to 55 cm in diameter can be processed. The maximum infeed rate is 180 m/min. This typically results in 1,500 m³ logs being cut on average per shift. The sawn timber is graded at two high-efficiency sorting stations. The maximum speed per station is 220 pieces per minute. The finished timber is stored on the 40,000 m² asphalted site with higher quality products stored under cover in a 15,000 m² purpose-built shed. Order picking is done there for loading and onward worldwide transport via truck, railway or container. Residues from the production process are transported through a 1.6 km long conveyor belt system to the adjacent wood-based products site for further use. Our efficient planer line enables further processing of the timber (with a length from 1.8 to 5.4 m) at a maximum feed rate of 750 m/min.
