Swiss Krono USA Expansion
Barnwell, SC,
United States
Swiss Krono is one of the world’s largest producers of engineered wood products, especially laminate flooring. The company’s U.S. subsidiary, Swiss Krono USA, is currently in the midst of a $230 million, 250,000-square-foot expansion of its existing production facility in Barnwell, S.C. The expanded facility will be home to Swiss Krono’s new multi-density fiberboard line, a high-production operation that has relatively high energy requirements.
In addition to the new manufacturing line, the expansion includes construction of a new energy plant and a waste treatment facility.

Impressions from the project process
Swiss Krono is one of the world’s largest producers of engineered wood products, especially laminate flooring. The subcontractor supplying the scaffolding for the US expansion selected the PERI UP Rosett Flex modular scaffolding system for the project, in part due to its optimal adaptability, high level of worker safety, and fast assembly.
The flexibility of the PERI UP Rosett Flex system makes it particularly well-suited to installations involving round structures, such as stacks and piping, enabling crews to fully enclose them with a variety of all-metal components.
PERI’s preplanning included designing scaffolding for the fixer installation access, air grader access, refiner access, and paint exhaust access. Access also was preplanned for the MDF dryers, the steam and thermal piping, and the energy center.
