Our drive
Passion for a unique resource.
St. Johann in Tirol, Austria, in 1961: Fritz Egger Sr. is successfully running 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 are constantly developing and offering innovative and complete product and service solutions around the natural material 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, sustainably, reliably and in a straightforward fashion. Everyone benefits from that.
Our team
We are open, inquisitive and tackle things instead of just talking about them.
Approximately 12,000 colleagues worldwide have a lot in common. Together we motivate, encourage and strengthen each other. 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
We act with future generations in mind and assume ecological, economic and social responsibility.
As one of the leading wood-based material manufacturers, we are aware of our responsibility towards the environment and society: Foresighted action geared to future generations has always been our practice. We are committed to this claim, taking responsibility for our products, our production processes, our employees and our environment. We disclose transparently who we are, what we do, and how we act.
Our vision
We are the leading brand for wood-based solutions.
We produce in Europe and America, and market our products worldwide. We have always built long-term and cooperative relationships with our customers and suppliers. Together we optimise the use of the valuable resource wood and create added value for all parties involved. To achieve this, we use the latest technology, continuously optimise our processes and automate and digitalise the processes in our production and supply chain.
Our corporate strategy
We have developed a future-focused strategy for the entire group, reflecting our vision, values, and long-term goals. Our company strategy provides the framework for our daily decisions and actions.
The strategy is divided into the following areas:
- More from wood
- Family business

We provide updates on the implementation of our strategy in our Financial and Sustainability Report.
