2 in 1: Supply security and economy in one.

Dieboards as a basis for cutting-dies are available in numerous designs. The right dieboard is selected depending on the requirements. The standard here is a multiplex dieboard made of birch wood. But what happens when the raw material birch becomes rare?  

In recent years, there have been repeated shortages of birch as a raw material due to climatic conditions and political circumstances. This issue has been a major concern for us, as our multiplex dieboards are made from birch wood. The problem here is: Only 5% of an area of birch wood can actually be used for a Marbach multiplex dieboard. In addition, the birch veneer must come from Nordic forests. This is because only at low temperatures the trees grow so slowly that the birch material is very firm and uniform and therefore perfectly suited for our dieboards. 

Our idea: We need a dieboard that makes us less dependent on birch as a raw material. 

With this target in mind, we started our development. One year later it was born: The Marbach greenplate. This dieboard consists mainly of a special fiber core (marbacore), for which mainly waste wood components are used. This is quickly and easily available to us – regardless of climatic conditions or political circumstances. Birch veneer, which is difficult to obtain, is only used as a secondary material for the respective top layers. This has enabled us to significantly reduce the share of birch wood in our dieboards, making us much more independent on the availability of birch as a raw material. In addition, deforestation is reduced, as far fewer birch trees have to be felled for cutting-dies.

But that’s not all – in addition to increased supply security with cutting-dies, Marbach greenplate can do much more: the special composition ensures excellent flatness, high pressure resistance and high dimensional stability of the board. For you, this means short set-up times, high machine speeds and excellent storage stability.
