Vidya Ply & Board has come up with a new plant for manufacturing Calibrated Plywood at Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The company’s unique manufacturing plant is dedicated to a range of Quality Plywood and Panel products. Mr Ankit Singhal, Director of the company said that now the customers’ buying behaviour and requirements are changing, which leads to a change in the market scenario as well. In order to meet evolving customers’ expectations the company is coming up with an advanced plywood manufacturing process. “The objective to venture into Calibrated Plywood manufacturing with a dedicated plant is to serve our customers with good quality and sustainable products,” he added
Having been in the wood panel manufacturing industry for the last 34 years, the company has successfully created a niche in the green building and Environment Friendly Market Segment. “Being a leading player in this industry we could comprehend the changing market trend and customer requirements well in advance and have thus taken the best possible step forward the same. For this purpose, we have established a new plant having installed the latest machines with automatization of various workflow systems,” said Ashok Agarwal, MD, Vidya Ply & Boards Pvt Ltd.
He further said that observing the future needs, automation will be top priority in times to come and with this the demand for quality products will rise in the market. Machine based furniture manufacturing is leading the way and the demand for machinefriendly smooth plywood has increased so its manufacturing is also taking a pace, the reasons for this having less availability of carpenters. “The plywood required for machine work should be smooth, calibrated and uniform. So, for this purpose we decided to venture into calibrated plywood manufacturing,” he added.
According to Mr Ankit Singhal initially, they will be manufacturing all ranges of plywood that they are manufacturing under the brand “Kanchan Ply” with a special focus on Fire-Retardant plywood as its demand is much more now as per government guidelines for the real estate and housing sector. They are having increased enquiries for it. “We have also developed E0 Grade Resin to manufacture E0 (low formaldehyde emission) plywood. We will also provide Virus Shield Technology plywood to our customers. Besides, we will be offering FR-grade doors as well. In coming times, seeing the demand of calibrated shuttering plywood we will be developing a mechanism for that as well,” he added.
The investment made by the company is to reach the next level and in that way, their dealers and channel partners become partners in growth jointly. “With the support of our channel partners, we have reached this level. With market growth, I would like to have our dealers/distributors grow equally or considerably well. And, without up-gradation along with innovation in product, this was not possible. We are committed to offering quality products and we will be offering a range of products with a good market value, satisfying the customers’ needs,” he added. The new plant has modern machines such as Calibrators, Core Composers, Panel Composers, 8ft Glue Spreaders, Automatic DD saw machines along with other machines. This plant will produce 6 lakh NA plywood every month.
