Situated near Modena, the IMAL PAL Group, has a longstanding history in the provision of technologies for the woodbased panels industry, with reference projects all across the world.
The Group comprises three divisions – IMAL (glue dosing and resination systems, steam injection technology, forming lines and continuous presses, belt dryers, measuring and lab equipment), PAL (wood recycling technologies, cleaning and sorting equipment) and GLOBUS (chipping technology, grinding and stranding).
When WBPI caught up with the energetic CEO of IMAL PAL Group Loris Zanasi, the background of current wood-based panels markets was of course a feature of conversation. Many global panels markets have been struggling with poor demand and low product prices.
Not to be deterred, Mr Zanasi said the IMAL PAL Group was looking to position itself into a stronger position, sharing that the company is expected to acquire another company by the end of the year. He couldn’t share precise details yet.
“It’s a synergy company and something our competitors do not have, and gives us additional abilities,” Mr Zanasi explained. “Our planning is to be able to complete it before the end of the year.”
