Modular and prefabricated construction are reshaping how buildings are designed, manufactured, and delivered. Instead of lengthy on-site work, structures are assembled in controlled factory environments — improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability. At the heart of this evolution lies plywood: a material that combines mechanical strength, adaptability, and eco-friendly performance.
As a trusted Vietnam plywood supplier, FOMEX GLOBAL provides modular builders with certified plywood panels tailored for construction, interior, and prefab applications worldwide.
The global push for carbon-neutral construction and cost efficiency has led to a surge in modular projects. By manufacturing components offsite, developers reduce material waste by up to 50 %, shorten project timelines, and achieve consistent quality under regulated factory conditions.
In Europe, the EU Green Deal and energy-efficient building policies have fueled demand for eco-friendly materials. In the United States, modular schools, hospitals, and residential complexes are gaining traction due to labor shortages and sustainability mandates. Both regions increasingly prefer certified plywood that supports long-term durability and environmental compliance.
Plywood has become an essential material for prefabricated and modular systems — from structural flooring and wall panels to formwork and furniture elements. Its layered structure provides high strength-to-weight ratio, dimensional stability, and easy machinability for CNC or robotic cutting.
Vietnam plywood, especially from FOMEX GREENWOOD and FOMEX PROMAX series, offers superior mechanical performance while remaining lightweight. Using hardwood, eucalyptus, or mixed-core layers, these panels achieve optimal bending strength and internal bonding suitable for modular wall frames and flooring modules.
Each sheet is pressed under high temperature with WBP phenolic glue or melamine adhesive, ensuring water resistance and long-term stability even under varying humidity — critical for shipping-container-based or portable prefab units.
Prefabrication relies on precise measurements. FOMEX GLOBAL supplies standardized plywood panels (1220 × 2440 mm, 9–25 mm thick) compatible with ISO container dimensions and automated cutting lines. This standardization reduces offcuts and allows seamless assembly across factories in Vietnam, Korea, and Europe.
Our Film-Faced Plywood line further enhances modular productivity with smooth reusable surfaces, minimizing release agent use in concrete molds.
Environmental compliance is no longer optional — it’s a market requirement. Vietnam plywood provides a lower embodied carbon alternative to steel or concrete while maintaining load-bearing reliability.
By choosing FOMEX GLOBAL plywood, prefab manufacturers not only meet green-building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM but also reduce waste through panels capable of 20 + reuse cycles in production or installation.
Q1: Why is plywood preferred over OSB in modular buildings? A1: Plywood offers better bending strength, smoother surfaces, and higher moisture resistance — essential for structural modules exposed to transport and installation stress.
Q2: How does FOMEX ensure sustainability in its plywood production? A2: All plywood products follow FSC®-certified sourcing, EUDR compliance, double QC inspection, and carbon-footprint tracking.
