Evergreen Fibreboard diversifies

New capacity: Evergreen Fibreboard’s plant in Batu Pahat.

PETALING JAYA: Wood panel products maker Evergreen Fibreboard Bhd is adding particleboard manufacturing capacity to its plant, targeting demand for the raw material widely used in lower end furniture.

The expansion, according to a top company official, will complement the company’s existing medium-density fibreboard (MDF) products. “A major project would be the completion of the upgrading and revamp of our particleboard plant,” group corporate controller Martin Leong told StarBiz.
