First shipments of high quality Q Mark plywood now available

Q Mark, BM TRADA quality label, is regarded as one of the most rigorous certification processes available for construction products.

November 14th 2012 :  Mr. Jack Chao chairman of Suzhou Kai Wah Wooden Co, Mr. Koen De Witte CEO of Altripan NV and Mr. Michael Walduck representing Altripan UK Ltd, received out of the hands of Mr. Niresh Somlie from BM Trada the Q Mark certificate for the plywood factory Suzhou Kai Wah Wooden Co Ltd.

Q Mark is regarded as one of the most rigorous certification processes available for construction products. BM TRADA Q-Mark is recognized by controlling authorities, home warranty providers and is used by world-class construction companies and manufacturers.

Altripan and Suzhou Kai Wah Wooden have been in cooperation for more than 6 years in an exclusive partnership, creating the right environment for joint investments in product development and legality verified plywood (*).

Following the success of achieving the first ever Verification of Legal Compliance (VLC) in China of their poplar plywood supply chain in June 2011, with the addition of Eucalyptus in March 2012, the recent achievement was a result of Altripan’ strategy to have full range high quality plywood products that are a credible alternative to European and South East Asian plywood products. The “third party verification” is essential as in today's market, importers, merchants and specifies want greater confidence in a product than a manufacturer's or importers declaration.
Altripan and Suzhou Kai Wah Wooden can guarantee this through BM Trada’ ongoing check, demonstrating  high performance through independent testing against exacting requirements and consistent manufacture through approved quality management systems.  Suzhou Kai Wah Wooden is also subject to ongoing checks on production and performance through regular audit tests and inspections.
The product range of high quality Verified Legal Compliance plywood now extends from Raw plywood (DURO PLY ® ) size 244 x 122cm and 250 x 122cm to Formwork/Shuttering and Wiremesh plywood (DURO FORM ® ) size 2440 x 1220 and 2500 x 1250cm.
