Fine OSB trendsetter
Customer: Luli, Shouguang (China)
In 2015, Luli Group was the first company to start Fine OSB production in China. Founded in 1985 as a carpenter’s workshop, the company is active in industries ranging from steel, paper and wood, to the import and export trade. It employs more than 7,000 people and earns the equivalent of 5 billion euros in annual sales.
That’s how we helped Luli get ahead
Given the lower cost of the raw material, OSB is an economical alternative to plywood for almost every application, but there was always one limitation: OSB’s poor laminating capability caused by its uneven board surface. Fine OSB eliminated this limitation. In Fine OSB, the OSB core layer is covered top and bottom by layers of particleboard to give a better structure to the top surface. In 2013 and 2019, Luli has ordered two complete Fine OSB lines from Dieffenbacher.
Both lines use a proven combination of a MAIER OSB drum chipper with several MAIER strand flakers for strand production, which can be individually adapted to each application. The surface layer material is prepared using efficient MAIER impact mills.
“Dieffenbacher was the only one that had the expertise to provide us with such a plant. At Dieffenbacher, we get both the best quality products, a great spirit of innovation and the perfect after-sales service. Based on the successful cooperation and the excellent equipment and service quality we experienced, we were very happy to expand and deepen our partnership with Dieffenbacher with the second project in 2019. I wish all my projects had been as easy and trouble-free as these two.” Guo Zhiwu (Deputy General Manager of Luli Group)
