NADELA, Spain -- Grupo Martín is the largest trader in wood-based panels and accessories for the wood and furniture industry in Peru. The group earlier founded subsidiary company Tableros Hispanos, which simultaneously took over the Spanish wood-based panel manufacturer Tablicia located in Nadela in the Galician province of Lugo.

In June 2014, Tableros Hispanos resumed particleboard production at the multi-opening plant in Nadela. The company now wants to modernize the plant in several stages. The first stage will renew the forming station, forming line, press and raw board handling system. This package, which includes a CPS+, was ordered by Tableros Hispanos from Dieffenbacher in October 2017. A new short-cycle laminating line will be supplied by Dieffenbacher Zaisenhausen.

Because the existing material preparation line will not be modernized in the first stage, the capacity of the new plant will initially be limited to 1,000 square meters per day. There are, however, plans to expand capacity to approx. 1,500 square meters per day in the future. Assembly will begin in the fourth quarter of 2018. See http://www.dieffenbacher.de.
