EGGER Truck travels across Europe

 Tuesday, December 6, 2016

eggerBetween August 2015 and November 2016, the EGGER Truck has covered more than 41,000 kilometres on the road through Europe. More than 4,200 visitors in 19 countries were shown product and services innovations on 96 events days.

 
Carsten Ritterbach, Head of Marketing and Sales EGGER Building Products, says, “The EGGER Truck allows us necessary and important mobility for our customer care. We visited more than 90 events and were able to provide solid advice regarding EGGER’s products for wood construction, its services, and innovations.”

 
Over the past year, the 33 tonne EGGER showroom-on-wheels has housed building products and corresponding services. The mobile showroom crossed a total of 19 European countries: from Sweden via Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, to Ukraine and Turkey. The product presentations for retailers, partners and colleges in the EGGER Truck went smoothly.

 
The EGGER Truck visited a total of 96 events, where the showroom presented the diverse range of EGGER Building Products with OSB, DHF, and timber. Included on the truck was the EGGER product wall with the entire portfolio and the illustrative environmental cycle. The wood-based materials manufacturer included the EGGER Ergo Board. This versatile and ergonomic construction board, developed especially for drywall constructions and interiors, expands the range of building products. Thanks to its low weight of 11 kilograms, mounting is easy and fast. A new edge profile with longitudinal shiplap allows easy placement and positioning of the “one-man-board”. The clamping action of the profile secures the board until final fastening. The 12mm thickness means cantilever loads can be fastened on the board irrespective of the wood or metal stands. Due to its high structural strength and the formaldehyde-free resin, the EGGER Ergo Board is a great wood-based material for interior applications.

 
The wood-based materials manufacturer also included a new outdoor product: EGGER Thermodecking – a thermo-treated decking board made of domestic pine. No chemicals are used for the treatment, just heat, steam, and water. This significantly diminishes vulnerability to insects and fungi, and the life cycle of the boards reaches 15 to 25 years. The board has a desirable safety aspect: its smooth surface has a higher coefficient of sliding friction compared to profiled decking boards. This means it is less slippery than a fluted or grooved surface. Furthermore, the surface of the EGGER Thermodecking is easier to care for and dries faster.

 
The information on offer in the EGGER Truck was complemented with the services from the EGGER Building Products segment. The Planning Handbook contains all important information regarding the planning and use of products as well as the revised Construction Catalogue. The “EGGER Construction Catalogue” app underwent an update and now offers users even more advantages. The app, which is now available in German, English, Italian, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian and Russian, includes all the configurations and construction details from the EGGER Construction Catalogue as 3D renderings. The 3D views are divided into dry screed systems, classified fire protection structures, and construction details. There is also additional information for fire protection and sound and heat insulation.
