Japanese Kitakami Plywood mill is
under construction and will be completed by the end of this year. It plans to
acquire JAS certificate on structural plywood in January next year then will
start commercial production in March, ITTO reported.
The plant uses 100% locally produced
species like cedar and cypress to produce about 3.3 million sheets (12 mm/3x6
base). The main product will be structural panel then in future it will make
concrete forming panel and floor base panel.
Since Seihoku group has other
plywood mills in the same region, mills adjust producing items with each other.
After Kitakami mill starts up, other mills reduce production of structural
panel, which will be Kitakami’s main product and make other items.
