In recent years, Vietnam has become one of the leading suppliers of plywood in the global market. Thanks to its rich timber resources, modern manufacturing facilities, and increasing compliance with international standards, Vietnam plywood is highly sought after by industries ranging from construction and interior design to furniture and packaging.
In this article, we will explore everything you need to know about Vietnam plywood, from its types and specifications to international certifications, key export markets, and the unique advantages offered by Fomex Group.
Plywood is an engineered wood product made from thin layers (or "plies") of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another. This cross-graining technique gives plywood its strength, stability, and resistance to warping and cracking, making it a versatile material used in a wide range of applications.
Vietnam's plywood industry produces a variety of plywood types to meet different market demands:
1. Commercial Plywood
Made for general interior use, commercial plywood is commonly used in furniture, cabinetry, and interior paneling. It is typically made with hardwood veneers such as acacia, eucalyptus, or tropical mixed hardwood.
2. Film Faced Plywood
Designed for heavy-duty applications, film faced plywood is coated with a resin-impregnated film that provides a smooth, durable, and water-resistant surface. It is primarily used in construction formwork and outdoor projects.
3. Packing Plywood
Packing plywood is a low-cost option used for creating shipping boxes, crates, and pallets. It may be made from mixed hardwood or softwood, depending on export requirements.
4. Furniture Plywood
This type uses high-grade decorative veneers on the surface, ideal for high-end furniture and interior decoration.
