China Plywood Trade & Investment Conference 2006 February 09, 2006
Fordaq invites you to attend China Plywood Trade & Investment Conference 2006 between April 20th and April 22nd, 2006.
China has become the largest producer of plywood in the world due to the boom of its plywood industry. China’s plywood exports grew tenfold from 1997 to 2004, rising from one million to 10.7 million cubic meters of roundwood equivalent (RWE) in only seven years.
There are about 5,000 plywood producers in China, 90% of which could produce 10,000 m3 of plywood per year, while only 180 producers could reach 20,000 m3 annually.
The largest plywood export area in China is Xuzhou city, where this year’s edition of China Plywood Trade & Investment Conference will take place on April 20th to 22nd.
The conference will include presentations, follow-up discussions, product exhibitions, field trips and sideline business negotiations where you can meet a large group of Chinese plywood manufacturers.
