CEWOOD opens new factory

General news

CEWOOD, a leading manufacturer of wood wool panels, has reached a milestone by opening a new production line at their brand new factory in Alūksne, Latvia. This state-of-the-art facility, with a total investment of €25 million, sets new standards in production capacity, sustainability and innovation within the construction industry.
The new production line will triple CEWOOD’s production capacity from 1.7 million m² to 4.7 million m² of wood wool panels per year. These panels, made from 100% natural materials such as wood, cement and water, are used worldwide for ceilings, walls and acoustic applications.

Sustainability and innovation in the Alūksne region
The new factory, located in the village of Jaunlaicene, is an example of sustainability and local entrepreneurship. With respect for the surrounding nature, the building was designed without cutting down trees and the construction was adapted to the landscape. This impressive design even won the prestigious “Latvian Construction Award” in the “Production Facility” category.
A striking feature of the building is the round window with a diameter of 3.2 metres, the largest monolithic round window in Europe.

A strong community and economic growth
The factory plays an important role in strengthening the local community. In Jaunlaicene, a village with only 300 inhabitants, CEWOOD employs more than 160 dedicated employees. The company is not only an economic pillar, but also a social connecting factor in the region.
The new factory is an integral part of a larger growth project, of which 70% has already been completed. In addition to the production line, modern warehouses and post-production facilities are being built, with a total area of ​​approximately 20,000 m².

What makes CEWOOD unique?
CEWOOD panels are made from 100% natural materials and combine aesthetics, acoustic performance and sustainability. They offer architects and construction professionals versatile applications for modern and environmentally friendly projects.
With the new factory, CEWOOD can not only expand its product range, but also actively contribute to the research and development of even more sustainable materials.
