Scandinavian technology for Iberian cross-laminated timber
Portugal’s first line for large-format CLT was manufactured in Denmark
Not “just” a cross-laminated timber plant, but a whole cluster for sustainable construction is currently being built in Esposende, Portugal. With major investments in mass timber and wood frame construction, Kozowood Industries and the real estate developer Vanguard Properties behind it want to lead the country’s traditionally concrete-heavy construction industry into a sustainable future. Two Danish subsidiaries of German Homag Group, i.e. System TM and Kallesoe, supply the majority of the machines required for this transition.
