Century Plyboards (India) Ltd. (CPIL) has joined forces with Siempelkamp to inaugurate its largest Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) facility in Andhra Pradesh, boasting an impressive daily output capacity of 950 m³. As a frontrunner in the organized wood panel industry, CPIL stands out as the pioneer ISO 9002-certified company in India within the plywood and veneer sector.

With a consistent track record of excellence and a proactive stance towards technological advancement, CPIL continues to set benchmarks in the industry.

Siempelkamp has provided various equipment for this facility: The company supplied the core part of
the production line, including a fibre dryer and a sifter system, the forming line incorporating the most
advanced mat area weight control system, and a ContiRoll Generation 9 press in the format 8’ x 33.8
m. A board cooling and stacking line, as well as an automatic storage system are part of the package.
The ContiRoll, equipped with a thin board and high-density package, enables the production of boards
with thicknesses ranging from 1.5 mm to 37 mm. These boards can be manufactured at speeds as high

effectively monitor and analyze the production process, leading to the production of higher quality
boards. Using the data provided by Prod-IQ®, the company can comprehensively evaluate the efficiency
of its plant.
