Egger sees growth potential in the edging segment

The Austrian Egger Group has signed an agreement for a 30 per cent minority stake in Sinowolf, a Chinese manufacturer of edging solutions for the furniture and interior fit-out sectors. Completion of the transaction is subject to the agreed due diligence and closing conditions. The closing is expected by November 2026.

Egger and Sinowolf aim to establish a long-term partnership to further develop their international edging business. Egger emphasises that Sinowolf will continue to be managed independently, will retain its established brand, and will continue to serve its customers through its existing organisation.

Sinowolf was founded in 2007. The company has two production sites in China, in Zhaoqing (Guangdong) and Huzhou (Zhejiang), with a total capacity of 1 billion running metres of edging per year. Sinowolf exports to more than 30 countries worldwide and offers a broad portfolio, including edge banding solutions made from PVC, ABS, PP and PMMA, as well as digital printing and laser edge banding technologies for the furniture industry. In addition to its edge banding business, Sinowolf is currently expanding into the field of surface materials.

“The global edging market offers significant opportunities for further development. Through this partnership, we aim to capitalise on complementary strengths in technology, manufacturing expertise and market access,” said Thomas Leissing, Egger Group Head of Finance/Administration. The investment is intended to supplement Egger’s international production network – including the edge banding production sites in Gebze (TR) and Brilon (DE) – with additional manufacturing expertise and regional flexibility.
