Manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels

ISIC v4.0 Code: 1621

About manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels

isic code 1621 covers the manufacture of veneer sheets and a variety of wood-based panels, including plywood, particle board, and fiberboard. These products are essential components in the furniture, construction, and packaging industries, playing a crucial role in the broader economy. The manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels is a significant industry, providing raw materials and semi-finished goods to a wide range of downstream sectors.

Production process

The production of veneer sheets and wood-based panels typically involves several key steps. Veneer sheets are produced by slicing or peeling thin layers of wood from logs or flitches. Wood-based panels, such as plywood, particle board, and fiberboard, are manufactured by pressing and bonding wood particles, fibers, or veneers together using adhesives and heat. The specific techniques and equipment used can vary depending on the type of panel being produced.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels include raw wood materials, such as logs, flitches, and wood chips or fibers. Adhesives, such as resins and glues, are also essential for bonding the wood components together. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, including veneer slicers, panel presses, and other processing equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of isic code 1621 are veneer sheets and a variety of wood-based panels, including plywood, particle board, and fiberboard.
