Writing a success story together
As the saying goes: “If you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are going." We know exactly where we come from. Our passion for the unique resource that is wood drives us and our approximately 12,000 employees worldwide every single day. At the same time, we are and will remain a family company with clear values: respect, quality and progress are the basis of everything we do. Our goal is to be the leading brand for solutions around living and working with wood. Achieving this goal also means taking responsibility. Our commitment is to act with future generations in mind and assume ecological, economic and social responsibility.”

Our drive
Passion for a unique resource.
St. Johann in Tirol, Austria, in 1961: Fritz Egger Sr. successfully runs the Egger family’s St. Johann operations, consisting of the Brunnhof farm and a sawmill. He decides to recycle the wood scraps that accumulate in the sawmill instead of simply throwing them away. He turns the seemingly worthless by-product into something new - in the first chipboard plant under the name EGGER.
Our mission
Creating more from wood.
For us, the needs of our customers are central. We value consistent proximity and open communication. In doing so, we rely on networked processes and digital channels. Together, we continually evolve and offer innovative, complete product and service solutions for wood. Our quality standard includes the entire value chain from order entry to delivery. This promise is the basis of all our customer relationships.
Our values
“Quality, respect and progress guide our actions.“
Our values stand for our attitude. Progress, respect and quality are our constant companions. Our customers, suppliers and employees know what they can expect from us. We set ourselves new goals and create progress for ourselves and our partners. We treat each other with respect and show each other trust, personal appreciation and openness. We act passionately, independently, straightforwardly and reliably. Everyone benefits from that.
Our team
We are open, inquisitive and tackle things instead of just talking about them.
Around 12,000 colleagues worldwide have a great deal in common. Together, we motivate, support and strengthen one another. We contribute our talents and experience and treat each other with respect. Together we have grown steadily, but we have not forgotten our roots – nor our core values as a family company. It is this strong foundation that allows us to be so successful.
Our responsibility
Sustainability aspects are embedded in our company strategy.
As one of the leading wood-based material manufacturers, we are aware of our responsibility towards the environment and society. We take a long-term approach to our actions and consider ecological, economic and social aspects in our sustainability strategy. We take responsibility for our products, production processes, employees and our surroundings, and continuously develop our measures further. We report annually on goals, measures and progress in the Financial and Sustainability Report, thereby creating transparency.
Our vision
We are the leading brand for wood-based solutions.
We produce in Europe and America, and market our products worldwide. We build long-term, cooperative relationships with our customers and suppliers. To this end, we use modern technology, optimise our processes and automate and digitise the procedures in our production and supply chain.
Our corporate strategy
