Switzerland. As an integral part of the company’s worldwide
strategy, Kronotex constructed a modernized manufacturing facility
in Barnwell, S.C. in 2005.
Our business is to serve a select group of distributors and larger

| retailers, and to provide
information and direction to consumers interested in our products.
We maintain inventories in Barnwell, SC and Savannah, GA, and do
business across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The roots of our
parent company, KronoGroup Switzerland reach back to the construction
of a sawmill in Lungotz, Austria in 1897. The sole ownership of
the company has always remained within the founding family and
today the total annual sales revenue of the Group exceeds $1 billion.
With headquarters in Lucerne, Switzerland, the Group operates

| These factories are vertically integrated
to manufacture virtually all of the component parts of the finished
products within the same or adjacent factories. The primary products
are particleboard, MDF and OSB wood panels; decorative, wear resistant
and balancing melamine impregnated overlays and thermosetting resins.
These primary components are then further fabricated by laminating,
finishing, cutting and machining to create products like laminate
flooring, cabinet and furniture parts, wall paneling and structural
building panels for sale to construction, industrial and consumer
markets.
The Group currently operates a total of twenty laminate flooring
lines on an annual 7-day 52-week schedule. Kronotex Fussboden
alone manufactures over 500 million square feet annually, making
it the world’s largest laminate flooring factory. It is
because of this large scale, vertically integrated cost structure
and the use of the most advanced, automated high speed technology
available that enables Kronotex to deliver the highest quality
product at the lowest cost possible to over 80 countries around
the world.
