Manufacturing process
First of all, the raw material will be selected and stored at our factory/workshop. Depending on each order’s requirements, we flexibly choose the appropriate source of wood material. For instance, while using fine wood logs for high quality orders, we otherwise choose the wood core which is the waste product of commercial plywood process to lower the manufacturing cost.
Raw material storage
Initially, we use a veneer lathe to peel the logs, in which way the wood is compressed with a nose bar while the veneer knife cuts the blocks into veneers that are typically 1.7mm thick. The first bit of the veneer which includes lumber bark shall be cut off. The veneer pieces are then clipped to a usable width, typically 640m or as request, for shrinkage and trim.

The veneers are then manually pressed so they are perfectly flat and ready to go into kilns for drying process.

After that, the veneers are dried to a certain moisture content of below 12%. Thanks to the gifted tropical weather, our veneers are normally dried naturally under the sun until their moisture reaches the right level. However, during the rain season, we use driers/kilns to dry our veneers quicker and guarantee the right moisture content for our final goods.
Kiln-dried veneers
After being dried, checked and divided into different quality types, veneers run through a curtain machine so a kind of glue are preperly spreaded all other the surface of the veneers.

Now, workers arrange layers of veneers to form the required thickness of the plywood pressed later on.

The laid-up assembly of veneers then is sent to a hot press in which it is consolidated under heat and pressure. Hot pressing has two main objectives: (1) to press the glue into a thin layer over each sheet of veneer; and (2) to activate the thermosetting resins. Typical press temperatures range from 132° to 165°C (270° to 330°F) for softwood plywood, and 107° to 135°C (225° to 275°F) for hardwood plywood. The time and temperature vary depending on the wood & resin types and customers’ requests.

Now the plywood is already formed. It is taken to a finishing process where edges are trimmed; the face and back may or may not be sanded smoothly; and the finished goods are packed. The type of finishing work depends on the finished product requirements.

Quality control
Manufacturing process knowledge and control
The problem with mass production is that you cannot check every single product manufactured or sold. However, the problem will be solved if you can control the producing process.
As you may recognize above, our company has deep knowledge of both our products and the production process. However, it is only the tip of the iceberg. We have the ability to control our product quality through good and durable machinery, standardized process, well-trained workers and dedicated quality control teams.
We are also very proud to have been able to consult for some of our suppliers and business partners about more effective techniques as well as management experience, helping them partly reduce their production and management costs.
Finished goods control
100% of our orders are checked by an independent quality-control company (as requested by and at the cost of our customers) or our own company’s employees and a copy of the checking result is sent to the buyer before the goods are packed at our supplier’s factory.
In case an independent quality-control company is responsible for checking the goods, the result shall be made officially in written document and included in the export document for the shipment.
In case of our company checking the goods, we shall record the checking process and result (in pictures and/or photos) and send the evidences to our customers via email or a messenger application that they use to communicate with our representative.
Categories and methods to check for each shipment/order will be discussed in details with you before contract signing.
Shipment term
With our advantage in the relations with tens of forwarders in Vietnam and other countries, we are confident to delivery our commodity under all the terms as stated by Incoterms 2020, serving our customers in the best ways possible.
Payment term
In general, we recommend 02 terms of payment as follows:- Irrevocable Letter of Credit at sight issued by a reliable/world-class bank- Telegraphic Transfer However, depends on the terms of delivery, we will establish the appropriate payment methods that will secure both parties during each transaction.
