The Beginning
The two owners, Jaime Arrieta and José Cox have been involved in the lumber business since 1985. In 1994 they founded Maforsa, to supply the domestic and North American markets with primed MDF and Radiata Pine moldings. In 1999 they created and developed the MDF wall covering (wainscot) consolidating, with an innovative process and product design, their leadership in the market as a solution provider tailored to their customers.
Our Growth
Maforsa continued investing and innovating, launching in 2010 its first two wrapping lines to produce paper and veneer wrapped mouldings, with a capacity of 500,000 linear meters per month. In 2018 the company added 60,000 square feet of new buildings to stock more raw materials and finish products. In 2020 Maforsa start operating a new door plant with a capacity of 40,000 doors per month.
