What believers are saying

  • Barnwell's laminate shutdown cedes U.S. shelf space to Mohawk and Tarkett.
  • 130 permanent layoffs signal higher U.S. unit costs and longer lead times.
  • Argolite integration and Barnwell restructuring strain execution across multiple operations.

What makes SWISS KRONO unique

  • Founded in 1966, SWISS KRONO is vertically integrated across wood-based materials.
  • It sells laminate flooring, decorative panels, and OSB through global distributors.
  • Barnwell still produces MDF, HDF, and THDF after laminate shutdown.
