Uniboard, a North American designer and producer of TFL decorative composite wood panels, has announced the introduction of Studio, a collection of 20 digital designs.

Panel Processing has introduced its new 2019 exclusive Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) line, The Crater Lake Collection, which includes nine exclusive colors and two new textures.

This new round of modernization will focus on screening, sifting, milling and intermediary storage equipment that will lay the foundation for later phases of upgrading the Val-d'Or press and finishing lines.

Tafisa Canada started up of its fifth TFL panel press line for producing two-sided embossed and in-register textured composite panels in 4-foot by 8-foot and 5-foot by 9-foot sizes. The line will aid the production and on-time delivery of its new VIVA panels, whic feature embossed in-register textured surfaces.

Arauco North America is investing $325 million to build the largest continuous press particleboard mill in North America. Located in Grayling, MI, the new mill will produce 424MMSF (750 MCM) of panels per year, along with full lamination capabilities to support the Prism TFL decorative surfacing program.

Uniboard will invest more than $29 million at its Sayabec plant to increase the capacity of its particleboard line. The composite panel and flooring maker also will add a thermally fused laminate (TFL) line at the plant. The investment will be implemented early next year.
