Monarch triples press cycle production

Monarch Custom Plywood added a double custom hardwood plywood panel press to triple-press cycle production at its manufacturing facility in Vaughan, Ontario.

“It is a great step forward for Monarch,” managing partner Ron Patterson said in a statement. “The addition of our new automated plywood press line with its double panel press will significantly impact our production capabilities. Along with it, the recent addition of our Mahros automated panel trim line; Monarch will be able to supersede the growing demand for custom hardwood veneer plywood panels, not only for our domestic markets, but for our export markets."

The new Colombo R. double plywood panel press includes an automated feed station, pre-press station, and an output stacking station. The press produces 4’-wide custom hardwood plywood panels and was made in Italy by Mantovani Macchine.
