The Egger Group, a global wood-based materials and décor specialist, has agreed to invest in a 30% minority holding in Sinowolf, a Chinese producer of edgebanding for the furniture and interior design industry.
The partnership aims to further develop the international edge banding market.
Sinowolf, established in 2007, operates two manufacturing sites in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and Huzhou, Zhejiang. Together, these facilities have the capacity to produce one billion metres of edge banding annually.
The company ships products to more than 30 countries and its range spans PVC, ABS, PP and PMMA edge banding alongside digital printing and laser-edge technologies. It is also expanding into surfacing materials.
According to the agreement, the partnership combines EGGER’s expertise in décor, surface and wood-based materials, and edging with Sinowolf’s experience in specialised edge manufacturing, digital printing, and customer-specific solutions.
EGGER CFO Thomas Leissing said: “The global edging market offers significant opportunities for further development. By partnering with Sinowolf, we are combining complementary strengths in technology, manufacturing expertise and market access.
“At the same time, it is important to us that Sinowolf remains an independently managed company with its own identity and entrepreneurial spirit. We are convinced that this partnership will create long-term value for both companies and for our customers worldwide.”
Sinowolf will retain independent management, continue to trade under its own brand and maintain its existing customer relationships.
The arrangement is designed to serve as a foundation for long-term cooperation and shared development of the international edging market.
Completion of the transaction is subject to review and closing conditions, with finalisation anticipated by November 2026.
Both firms expect the investment to strengthen their positions in the global edge banding market, support growth in major regions, and improve local customer service.
