For Manufacturers

We are thrilled to introduce our new UV-finished plywood program, offering advanced protective coatings available on one or both sides of the plywood. While UV-lacquered birch plywood has long been a trusted choice, we are proud to expand the options with UV-finished eucalyptus plywood with rotary faces. This new product brings fresh potential for strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, catering to a range of innovative applications. Stay tuned for more details on how these products can enhance your next project!

We conducted tests on the plywood for milling and dovetail cutting. The last test was performed on a home router, and we are awaiting the results of industrial cutting on a dovetail machine, which we will share soon.

The annual global production of birch plywood is approximately 5.1 million m3. Russia's share is about 70%. Until 2021, the primary consumers of birch plywood were Europe (30%), Russia (20%), and the USA (12%). Birch plywood is produced from its raw materials in Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, and Central Asia. Until 2022, the EU accounted for more than half of Russian plywood supplies abroad and one-sixth to the USA. In 2022, direct exports of Russian products to the EU altogether ceased, and to the USA, they decreased significantly due to the introduced protective duty. The United States did not impose prohibitive sanctions against the Russian timber industry. Still, in the spring of 2022, it abolished the most favored nation regime in trade with Russia and Belarus. As a result, the import duty on Russian plywood increased from 0 to 50%. In 2023, the largest plywood importers from the Russian Federation were Egypt, China, and Türkiye. Exports of Russian plywood to China in 2023 increased 2.1 times year-on-year to 239,200 cubic meters. Compared to 2021, the volume increased by 3.3 times. In 2023, Russia became the largest exporter of plywood to China – it accounted for 81.6% of physical volumes. Plywood exports from Russia in 2023 amounted to approximately 1.4-1.6 million m3 versus 2 million m3 in 2022 and 3.05 million m3. in 2021. For clients interested in purchasing birch plywood in the Russian price niche, but not produced in Russia and made from non-Russian raw materials, we are ready to offer high-quality flooring plywood, furniture frame grade plywood, and calibrated platforms. For each proposed product, we can supply clients with professional Due Diligence and all documents confirming the localization and origin of raw materials, including GPS tracking and the necessary certificates of conformity, technical sheets, and test reports.

For clients interested in diversifying their sourcing, we are ready to offer Eucalyptus urograndis (which is a hybrid species between E. grandis and E. urophylla) plywood for industrial use (floors, frames, platforms, etc.), produced according to the birch plywood standard (including the multi-layer construction). Plywood can be smoothly processed (sawn, milled, etc.) without the problems associated with eucalyptus and known in the industry.
