WESTERN INDIA PLYWOODS LTDINDUSTRY PROFILE
Trees are nature’s greatest bounty to man. They provide shelter, fuel, medicines and tools
for war or commerce or transport. It was a timber from trees, which in the early days helped man
to conquer the oceans and to fly in the air.
Nature develops trees as a mother brings up children, making each one a separate
individual. It is an amazing sight to see the natural abstract rhythm of line, colour and texture in
wood. Nothing from nature indoors gives such a long lasting enjoyment as the natural beauty of
wood. Flowers fade, but the beauty of decorative wood is enhanced by age.
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF PLYWOOD INDUSTRY
In India the modern sector of Small, large scale manufacturer have played a significant
role in the socio-economic development of the country. Our county is blessed with immense
stock of natural resources both above and beneath the soil surface. Forest is one of the important
natural assets of India.
Of the various areas of wood processing plywood manufacture is an important sector
wing to its employment potential and value addition. In India plywood as a product was
commercially developed first in Assam and its neighboring area by enterprising industrialist.
Nearly a century ago during those days when the India tea was introduce to Europe, many
complaints such as tanning of the tea, change of odour, lack of resistance of boxes to withstand
transport.
landings were received. To overcome these complaints Indian association set up a committee to
go up into the details of tea packing and it was found that tea chest made from plywood could be
used for packing tea.
13 | P a g e
WESTERN INDIA PLYWOODS LTDThe art of veneering was in existence as early as 1500 BC in Egypt. Veneering is a thin layer of
sheet of wood uniform in thickness. Veneer is used in Greek during early period to beautify the
furniture. The Roman also used veneer during the time of 63 BC. During the reign of LUOIX
XV in 1760 good decorative furniture was made in France using veneer. The plywood which are
seen in the present form was developed after 1860 this veneer machine was first upgraded by
French mechanic in 1812. The factory for manufacturing of veneer was first established in
Germany in the middle of 19th century. Nowadays a rapid development is taking place in this
field.
At present wood products are used for manufacture of modern kind of furniture, Building
material, material for interior decoration, ship building, automobile manufacturing, and
refrigerator and meant for many other purpose.
PLYWOOD INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The Indian plywood industry owes its origin to the development of tea industry in the state
of Assam, West Bengal, Kerala and the difficulty created by the two World wars in the way of
imports of tea chest plywood. Except for the setbacks suffered in the post war period, the
plywood sector was booming since 1947.
In 1947 India was a net importer of plywood, mainly tea chest plywood of approximately
Rs.2 crore per annum. During 1992 India manufactured 150 million sq. meters of plywood types
that earned approximately Rs.1000 crore. The industry has grown both in medium, large scale
and small-scale sector. The plywood industry consumes about 15 million m3 timbers of primary
and secondary species. In fact the plywood industry has provided main outlet for the maximum
utilization of secondary species of timber there by making available contribution in the forest
economy. Later, the plywood industry aided for the development of farm forestry sector
plantation, which benefits the ordinary farmers in the country.
The other main raw material required by the plywood industry is synthetic resin, which is
14 | P a g e
WESTERN INDIA PLYWOODS LTDavailable within the country. The materials required for manufacturing resins are Urea, Phenol
and Formaldehyde. This industry also pays excise duty to the extent as Rs.50 crore; provides
employment to about 30000 people and has total investment as Rs.400 to 500crores.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
Competition is keen in the furniture industry. Furniture manufacturers and exporters are
suffering from decreasing profit margins. Many companies strive to reduce their cost of
production and increase efficiency. Some relocate their manufacturing operations to other areas
with lower operation cost, such as the Chinese mainland. On the other hand, foreign
manufacturers are taking steps to strengthen their domestic production through product
specialisation.
To stay globally competitive, Hong Kong furniture manufacturers strive to reduce costs,
initiate quality control, improve design concepts and capability, and upgrade management skills
and increase marketing and sales effectiveness. Many manufacturers have obtained or are
applying for ISO 9000/9002 certification.
Hong Kong's furniture makers also started to develop their own brands. Furniture
manufacturers also become more careful about the choice of raw materials to meet international
standards, such as compliance with legal or other environmental requirements in their target
markets. China is the largest furniture exporter to many countries, including the US and Japan.
The total furniture exports of China exceeded US$6,683 million in 2002, with the US being its
largest market. Guangdong province is the major manufacturing centre of furniture on the
Chinese mainland. Apart from Hong Kong, manufacturers from Taiwan and even the US have
also set up production plants on the mainland. In China, most of the production is on an OEM
basis. China also offers a huge potential market for furniture maker
