Sep 4, 2017 | Board Manufacturers | 0 comments

U.S. – Despite temporary setbacks caused by the economic downturn in 2008 and a wildfire that devastated one of its manufacturing plants in 2012, AraucoPly has made giant strides in growing its customer base throughout the United States and Canada.

Araucoply Michael Vincent, Director of Import Panels – ARAUCO North America, noted that the U.S. and Canada now account for 40 percent of AraucoPly’s worldwide sales. Vincent and his team, operating from ARAUCO North America’s headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, coordinate sales and deliveries with two mills in Chile.

One of the main drivers for the growing demand in the U.S. and Canada for AraucoPly is its consistent high quality in terms of color, surface characteristics and core properties. The plywood panels are made from 100 percent Radiata pine, grown in the company’s own FSC® certified, sustainably managed forests. Arauco is one of the largest Plywood manufacturers in Latin America with an annual production capacity of 710.000 m3 in Chile.
