How an Austrian timber giant became a fixture in British kitchens
The partnership has given UK manufacturers reliable access to decorative panels, laminates and worktops for 20 years, Lawcris said.
Yorkshire-Based distributor Lawcris and manufacturer EGGER are celebrating a 20-year partnership that has expanded access to decorative panels for British furniture makers.
Founded in 1961 by brothers Michael and Fritz Egger in Austria, the family-owned company grew from a single chipboard plant into a leading Austrian manufacturer of wood-based materials.
EGGER opened its Hexham manufacturing plant in Northumberland in 1984, subsequently expanding its British footprint to strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce lead times.
"Strong partnerships are built on consistency, trust and a shared commitment to supporting customers," said a Lawcris spokesperson, noting the relationship provides reliable access to market-leading decorative panel products.
The collaboration remains focused on supporting Britain's manufacturers with the materials and technical support needed for the next generation of kitchens, bedrooms, and commercial interior spaces.
