The European Panel Federation (EPF) represents the European manufacturers of particleboard, MDF, OSB, hard and softboard, and plywood. EPF has members in 25 countries. The EU wood panel industry has a turnover of about 22 billion euro every year, creates over 100,000 jobs directly and counts more than 5,000 enterprises in Europe. The European Panel Federation exists to give its members a strong, collective voice in responding to the political, economic and technical issues that impact the industry and the ability of its members to grow their businesses. "Working with our members, we make the case for the industry as an integral part of the EU’s bio and circular economy, while championing high standards of wood-based panel manufacturers and their contribution to a greener, more sustainable economy."
