At the BAU fair in Munich that took place in January, two companies received the certificate for the production of Swiss Krono's patented OSB boards known as "Magnumboards". Swiss Krono reserves the production of their wall, ceiling and roof elements for this solid timber construction system exclusively for selected license partners. The two new license partners are Keilhofer, Zwiesel/DE and Wood & Build which is part of the Debeuckelaere group, Kortemark-Handzame/BE. "In Germany, we are now optimally positioned with three license partners in total. The fact that the Swiss Krono Magnumboard OSB elements will also be produced in Belgium from now on makes us particularly proud", Uwe Jöst, managing director of Swiss Krono and Swiss Krono Tex explains.
