History in Europe
We first entered the market in 1964, completing the acquisition of our current UK sites in 1999. In 2004, we strengthened the European component of the business further, adding the Genk facility in Belgium to our operations.
Today, Norbord brands are some of the most trusted across the continent and our products are widely used in the construction. As a business, we continue to place customers, standards of excellence, control of costs, safety and environmental concerns at the centre of our activities.
And we’re proud to be regarded as the industry expert by our customers across Europe.
