Manufacturing

Here in Focus Lumber Berhad, we specialise in high quality plywood. Our products include thick panel Plywood, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Veneers and Joint Boards/Laminated Board. We source from top end timber, including Red Seraya, White Seraya, Yellow Seraya, Magas and Kapur. Our products undergo a rigorous series of processing and refinement which result in a high level of quality for consumers.

Today we serve a diverse range of customer bases all throughout North America, the Middle-East and Asia Pacific regions. The United States market is our largest client, importing our plywood to be used as buildings materials in the recreational vehicles (RV) industry. RVs demand high quality building materials, which indicates the considerable value of our products.

Our plywood conforms to the formaldehyde emission requirements as defined in the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Title VI, Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products.

Our products can also be found in the construction of households, cabinets, panelling, flooring and assorted furniture.

Over the years, our Group has invested in advanced machineries to enhance the efficiency of our manufacturing process. Hence, our Group is able to blend our management’s technical know-how with ability in operating the advance machineries to produce quality plywood. Hence our Group is now capable of the followings:

  • Integrating different type of timber logs to produce plywood which has reduced the restriction in the use of only certain types of timber logs;
  • Better production efficiency which increase the recovery logs resulting in lower production cost;
  • Use of smaller logs (which are lower in cost) in the manufacturing operation which has resulted in lower cost of raw material and broaden the source of log supply for its production.
  • Producing plywood with low content of formaldehyde.
  • Our Group adopts the following standards in our plywood manufacturing:
  • The product standard for imported wood veneer and platform (IHPA ¨C 2000) ¨C by the International Wood Products Association, US (“IHPA”); and
  • Export standard specification of Japanese plywood.
