DelhiWood organised by Nuremberg Messe is one of the most distinguished events for the woodworking and allied industry in India, which amongst others, attracts designers, architects, manufacturers, and contractors from India and overseas. Canadian Wood's participation objective was to enhance awareness about B.C., as a long term reliable source of certified wood to India and its five distinct species, their properties and applications both in reman and structural. This time, FII displayed products manufactured by Bramola (Faridabad) and Artius (Gurugram) at their booth. 

 

As per Canadian Wood Country Director Mr. Pranesh Chhibber, said, “We have been educating professionals in the wood working industry through various platforms, including seminars/webinars, training workshops and wood colleges, sharing knowledge and best practices. We have often collaborated with Private and Public institutions, such as Furniture Fittings and Skill Council, (FFSC), etc., to develop and enhance local skill sets while promoting sustainability in the woodworking sector.”

Canadian Wood also supported a conference on Wood and Architectural Design held on March 3rd and Mr. Pranesh Chhibber spoke on the topic, ‘Wood Construction: An Opportunity for a Sustainable Future”. Renowned architects and manufacturers attended this conference. 

 

Canadian Wood comes in almost as ready to use lumber (sawn timber) that’s duly graded, seasoned, and consistently sized thereby it avoids the clumsy waste of time, energy and money on sorting the wood upon receipt. Its five distinct species are considered excellent for a wide variety of applications both for outdoors, indoors, and in reman as well as structural applications.
