Egger Group has acquired Italian recycling company Lenocart Srl, further expanding its wood recycling network in Italy and strengthening access to recycled wood.
The acquisition underlines its strategic commitment to continuously expanding its international network of recycling collection sites under the Egger Timberpak brand.
Milan-based Lenocart has been a business partner of Egger for many years. The acquisition also includes Lenocart’s transport fleet, supporting efficient collection and logistics processes.
“The acquisition of Lenocart is an important step in strengthening our recycling network in Italy,” said Giuseppe Conti, plant director of the Egger plant in Caorso and responsible for wood purchasing.
“The Milan region offers significant potential for the collection of recycled wood. Together with the experienced Lenocart team, we aim to further develop the business and contribute to a more circular use of resources.”
The operative management of the Lenocart site will remain in the hands of Dario Lenoci, whose family founded the company in the 1950s.
Lenocart’s site currently collects 10,000 tonnes of recycled wood per year and will contribute to supplying recycled wood to Egger’s plant in Caorso. There, Egger manufactures particleboard from 100% recycled wood.
Under the Timberpak brand, the Egger Group operates an international network of recycling collection sites. Recycled wood from the respective region is collected, sorted and pre-shredded at the Timberpak sites before being transported to Egger plants. Final processing takes place at the plants.
