Samartex product: Sliced veneers
Our modern veneer plant produces up to 1,000,000m2 veneers per month. When it comes to veneer production, two essential factors are most influential on the quality of the product:- the experience and knowledge of the people who process the veneers
- a sustainable supply of the highest grade of logs.
Having put in place a system that ensures the continuous development and education of our human resource base and one of the most advanced forest management techniques, Samartex has both.
