A number of wood products are available for the panel and board market. These include lumber, plywood, particleboard, hardboard, etc. all of which are use in a wide variety of applications. Plywood is an ideal panel product that excels in many ways over other board products in terms of quality, strength, durability and machinability. However, one of the many problems the plywood industry is faced with in today’s market place is a general shortage of raw materials necessitating an increased consumption of small diameter logs and logs of inferior quality. Meinan changed the basic technology of veneer peeling by inventing the peripheral block dribing system, and continues developing new machines and applications for the veneer & plywood industry. All Meinan machines are user friendly designed. Establised 1953 Address: 3-130 Kajita-cho, Obu, Aichi 474-8543, Japan Phone : +81-562-47-2211 Fax: +81-562-48-7300 http://www.meinan.co.jp
