| Malaysia’s export of timber and timber products declined by 18% |
| 19/12/2009 - 08:22 |
Malaysia’s export of timber and timber products declined
by 18% to RM13.95 billion in the first 3 quarters of 2009,
in comparison with the same period in 2008,. The decline
affected the sawnwood, plywood and wooden furniture
sectors.
This was revealed by the Malaysian Timber Industry
Board (MTIB) at the Industrialised Building System (IBS)
seminar held in Kuala Lumpur recently.
Lamtec, a locally registered trade mark for Malaysian
wooden laminated scantlings has found wide-acceptance
in the German market largely because of the efforts of a
German company PADO Elementebau GmbH, a window
frame maker. The German manufacturer is using
Malaysian and local timbers.
Lamtec’s is the result of collaboration between the
Malaysian Wood Industries Association (MWIA), Forest
Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Malaysian Timber
Industry Board (MTIB) and Malaysian Timber Council
(MTC).
Lamtec is also reportedly making its mark in the Austrian
as well as the US markets. The Malaysian timbers used in
the manufacture are Meranti, Kasai, Bintangor and Gerutu.
