WOOD INDUSTRY PRODUcTS aT 28% gST IS a BOOST FOR BRaNDS, STRUggLE FOR SEMIBRaNDS, aND SHOcK FOR UNBRaNDED
Editorial
Pragat Dvivedi, Founder Editor

There are people who still believe that ‘past practices will be continued probably’. My sincere advice is to make a ‘do or die effort’ for 18% and take an oath for 100% billing culture to make the wood industry and trade a respectful contributor to GDP which is mandatory to build our great nation as well as our businesses.
G
ST’ is the buzzing hot topic of today that is creating a churn of discussions surrounded by chaos, confusions, fears and even bright hopes though the real picture will be revealed after its practical implementation. In wood panel trade, few are extremely happy, many are uncertain and majority are clueless. Distributors and dealers have almost stopped stocking as a result the material inventory in markets be it for plywood, laminates, PB or MDF, ACP or Door, is reduced to 50 percent. It is certain that after 15 days of GST everyone will ask for quick deliveries to fulfil the gap. “One Nation One Tax” is favourable in long term but has brought panic and fear of survival among industries. New rules of compliance, regulations and systems are still unknown to masses hence uncertain business environment is bound to shake the demand or payment cycle for several months.
Majority of finished items in wood article are covered under 28 percent e.g. plywood, plyboard, doors, flooring, particle board, MDF etc, where as 18% GST applies on Laminates, PVC Boards, ACP, Sawn timber, etc. Majority of raw materials e.g. plantation logs, face veneers, chemicals, foils etc fall under 18% slab. The slab of 28 is posing a big threat for sustainability for 2500 units in plywood industry where as GST at 18% would have been an appropriate, logical with respect to increased tax collection and growth. Undoubtedly, SSI limit of 1.5 Cr has been more of a shield for thriving unorganised wood units who paid almost nothing as excise tax so far (irony is, they limited themselves from growth that was possible) thus GST is very much needed. “28% slab on plywood, door and board category is like punishing a child for failing in exam where he was never given the right teaching environment or even a school.” The high slab of 28 is a weapon of mass destruction that itself defy the government push for manufacturing in India. However, 28% slab is a big boost for top brands, slight struggle for semi & mid brands but serious threat to the small ones. There are people who still believe that ‘past practices will be continued probably’. My sincere advice is to make a ‘do or die effort’ for 18% and take an oath for 100% billing culture to make the wood industry and trade a respectful contributor to GDP which is mandatory to build our great nation as well as our businesses. The Ply Reporter has been always writing, speaking and motivating every stakeholder of industry to work in organised manner. But when time has come and the industry is open to changes, why a high slab of 28% is levied and burdened upon “a trade that employs 10 lacs of workers, lacs of carpenters, lacs of retailers and thousands of small furniture units who will die instead of contributing to India’s growth story?” Let’s pray and hope GST on wood article reduces to 18%. Note: Curious readers are advised to read the Article on GST (page 38-68) and past 2016, December 2016 & January 2017.

The Ply Reporter estimates that India shipped approx worth Rs. 1400 crore’s HPL to world market and more than 20 HPL producers are involved into export business. Instead of selling to middle men or users, if Indian HPL companies rise up and invest in stocks, marketing and infrastructure in world market then the export figure may touch even Rs. 2000 crores in current FY. With proposed GST of 18% of HPL will further grow.

t the entry gate of Koelnmesse during Interzum 2017, a big hoarding of an Indian laminates brand made us smile with pride, as it was an indication of growing presence of the Made in India brands among the companies of the world on large platforms where design, furniture and architectural hardware makers presented their innovation, design and strength to buyers from around the world. During the show Hall 6.2 seemed like a place where there was presence of at last an Indian among every 4 persons. There were 14 Indian laminate brands in different halls covering over 1000 sq meter area altogether showcasing latest, innovative products. The brands tried even to create an identity by setting up new trends in world HPL surface décor market. This Interzum indicated strength, passion, guts and aggression of Indian companies who wish to cater world HPL market.The variety of new products e.g. Anti-finger print laminates, Synchronized, digital range, high gloss, color core, sober texture HPL range, exterior grade laminates, cubical, big sized sheets etc were presented by the brands with certified international standards and quality norms. The Ply Reporter estimates that India shipped approx worth Rs. 1400 crore’s HPL to world market and more than 20 HPL producers are involved into export business. Instead of selling to middle men or users, if Indian HPL companies rise up and invest in stocks, marketing and infrastructure in world market then the export figure may touch even Rs. 2000 crores in current FY. With proposed GST of 18% of HPL will further grow. As per report, considerable increase has been seen in visitors from India (up 41 percent) and Asia (up 53 per cent) in this Interzum, which again indicated the potential of Indian customers. Although decorative veneer related visitors could not locate new things. A lot of innovation was seen on MDF, Plywood, Hardware, Wood and furniture components. New textures on MDF panels, Colored MDF, Sound proof panels, High gloss panels, lightweight panels, 3D designs, Recycled & bio-materials etc were all over the show but beyond the reach of majority of Indian visitors. Though everyone reacted with Wonder, Smile & WOW! This issue has wide coverage on Interzum 2017 spread over 28 pages, which one should not miss if he trades in wood panel décor business. GST is supposed to roll out from July 1, 2017 and GST council has proposed different rates on different panel and decorative products. Being responsible magazine of wood panel industry and trade, we support the voice raised by our industry against 28% slab on Ply and MDF. This issue also contains GST related talks, notes, analysis and views of those who are in the wood panel industry. The issue offers an insight for all by analyzing its impact further on the products e.g Plywood, MDF, Particle Boards, Doors, Flooring, Timber, Face Veneer etc. Lets pray that whatever happens bring goodness and prosperity for each stakeholder of wood panel trade.

At 28% GSt, Plywood PriceS mAy riSe by 10%
C
NEWS WATCH
entral government has proposed 28 % Good and Service Tax (GST) on Plywood products which is expected to roll out from July 1, 2017. The whole Plywood industry is shocked by the highest GST slab applied on plywood panels and is making fresh efforts to reach out to government for consideration in reduction in final bill. Different Plywood Associations and their members of Plywood manufacturers in states e.g. UP, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Punjab, Gujarat, Kerala, etc. have met their respective states ministers, central ministers, higher finance department officials in states and centre and sought for reduction of GST on Plywood, Block Boards and Doors in final proposal.
26
The President of FIPPI (Federation of Indian Plywood and Panel Industry) and Chairman of Century Plyboards Mr. Sajjan Bhajanka, also advocated for reduction of GST from 28%. Industry argues that most of plywood units come under SSI units, which are now exempted from excise duty and the industry have been passing the benefit to consumers hence they have to pass this taxed amount to consumers and finally the plywood will be dearer. Hence once all the plywood factories fall in same slab of GST from beginning then the prices of plywood have to rise by 10 percent to survive. If the tax slab would have been fixed at 18 percent the prices would have been on similar levels and industry could have sustained and managed to accommodate with marginal effects. Industry fears that once the prices of finished goods will be higher at such level, their product will be cost to much higher, and the demand will be immediately dropped drastically and they would not be able to survive. On the other hand, branded and organized plywood sector opines that they are still paying approximately the proposed tax rates so their product prices will be unchanged and now they are able to get share of informal sector, hence they will grow further. It has estimated that there are 2600 operational plywood manufacturing units in India, of which 85 percent or above comes under SSI units category who are exempted from excise tax. Once GST is implemented on the 28 percent slab, around 1500 industries will not be able to either pass on the price or accommodate the tax burden and will ultimately closed down, thus creating a chaos like situation on supply gap and almost 3 lac people may get affected on employments.

Decorative Laminate prices to reDuce post Gst
H NEWS WATCH
igh Pressure Laminates (HPL) is proposed in 18% GST that means the HPL prices will certainly go down after July 1st as the industry has to pass the tax benefit to consumers. In existing rate of Excise+Vat+CST+Cess etc. the laminate industry was attracting around 28 percent or more on taxes where as now it will have a lesser slab on its range.
28
All the laminate products have come under 18 % in proposed GST slab that will certainly lead to a reduction by 8 to 10 % on prices post GST. As per industry reports, HPL sector are comfortable and satisfied with the proposed GST rate and hope that it will help the industry to get more organized working in future. India has now more than 200 HPL producing establishments that includes every kind of laminates. The top brands like Greenlam, Merino, Stylam, Century with strong market foundation have expanded their capacities during last 3 to 4 years, sighting rise in domestic and international demand. The massive surge in HPL manufacturing capacity has also happened in the country and 18 percent tax slab has boosted the morale of industry as well as stockiest across the country and regions. The sharp growth in 0.8 mm and liner 0.72 category during last 3-4 years has been majorly taken by semi organized and unorganized segment. The GST could be a benefit to all the segment specially organized segment as they will be able to reduce the price and pass on to consumers once GST is implemented. However, plywood is the major basis of HPL sales growth and if plywood demand are subdued it affects the HPL growth as well. There are many points where clarity is awaited though GST is a booster for Decorative Laminate sector. Positive impact on HPL Industry & trade

MDF anD WooD Particle BoarD to Be costly
T
NEWS WATCH
he most surprising increase has been on GST slab on wood particle board and MDF boards where GST of 28 % on is proposed. Both product categories have been fastest growing during last 5 years among all wood panels product bucket in the country. With approx 15 to 20 % of annual growth rate, dozen of new plants are coming to manufacturer MDF and Particle Boards but higher than expected rate of GST has certainly dampened their enthusiasm for a while.
30
PB and MDF are eco-friendly products because the boards are primarily using lops and tops of a plant which is wither used as firewood or waste and hence these materials are cheap compared to other panels used in furniture making and considered more environment friendly. But the highest GST slab on these products is like shock for the industry and trade. Experts feel that 28 percent slab would temporarily affect the growth momentum and product will become dearer in retail market. Presently MDF installed capacity in India has 2000 cubic meters which is estimated to be 5000 cbm per day by FY2018-19. Innovation in furniture or panel processing machines and modern tools is giving Indian furniture makers an opportunity to increase volumes as well aesthetics with the fine use of MDF boards. With more of CNC routing application on MDF and increasing taste for unique/creatively designed furniture’ MDF panels are looking at sharp growth during next three years. Hence, if furniture comes under 28 % GST rate then MDF would not be much affected but it will certainly punch retail demand slightly for a while. The same can happen with Wood Particle board segment, which is mainly used by organized OEMs. The demand of Particle board is growing due to increasing offices and rise in demand of office furniture in Metro cities. After proposed GST of 28 % the retail demand would be expected to benefit Bagasse based particle boards sector more which is proposed at 12 % GST slab. If Bagasse particle board segment improves quality and able to procure adequate quantity of raw materials, the sector can grow faster than present. Benefit to Bagasse PB plants and MDF category

NEWS WATCH
ooden Flooring and Doors product to be levied under 28 % GST as per government proposal. This scenario will lead to price increase of this product category. Off late the acceptanceof wooden and laminated flooring has been wide and speedy. The growth in wood flooring in India has come quickly because of economy, quick install and aesthetics and hence retail sales have grown equally with project segment. Laminate flooring is particularly popular pan Indiaand is used in every kind of spaces like hotels, restaurants, sports facilities, offices etc.
32
The wide acceptance, need and opportunity is motivating number of Indian Entrepreneurs to start laminate flooring production in India but the proposed GST of 28 % will bring its costing up lead this product dearer marginally for consumers varies brand wise. Although, this category will not be much affected because the most of players in wooden and laminated flooring are from formal sector, which tax rates are not much affected. Doors sector is certainly going to be hit and the prices are going to increase of each wooden door or flush door. The slab of 28 % GST rate will impact majority of the door manufacturers because it was prominently driven by SSI units spread across the country who are currently running under excise exemption limit. Doors have been decent growing product category in India and largely produced in North India. With receding demand of Block Boards, majority of blockboard makers shifted to flush doors manufacturing leading to 60 % market share in total doors produce in country. Because this sector is of customized sizehence it is under limitation of production constraints that eventually become costlier at GST slab of 28 %. Flooring – No impact, Door Industry – Negative

he GST rate on Sawn Timber and Face Veneer is reported to be proposed in 18 % slab, which will help this sector to become formal. Experts say that India consumes huge quantity of sawn timber supplied by thousands of saw mills (big and small) located pan India. Most of the saw mills are SSI units and are mainly driven by informal sector but the implementation of GST will tighten them to work in organized manner. The timber and face attracts 18 percent slab that will provide a cushion to plywood, door, furniture and other organized segment furniture manufacturer a cushion as they can have a higher input credit. Although the cost of sawn timber may witness an increase of 5 percent though the prices might remain stable due to subdued demand. India saw mill sector is mainly depend on imported logs, and approx 7 million cubic meters timbers are being imported in India where as there are thousands of mills who process seasonal wood from local regions. Although timber traders opines that GST burden will increase to those states consumers, where the current VAT rate is 5 %, and prices will go up in many states such as in Delhi, MP, etc. The face veneer sector will be benefited and grow further because majority of plywood units will become under organized system within a year. India’s plywood sector is now mainly depend on imported face veneer from Myanmar, Gabon, Indonesia and Vietnam that offers a complete input cost set off for plywood units thus supporting them to absorb higher GST rate. Prices of face veneer will remain same unchanged under proposed GST rates of 18 %.

VC foam Boards are proposed under 18 % GST slab which will be advantageous for this growing product category in India market. PVC foam board is in nascent stage in India market and very new product from furniture making. This product category sector is promoting this product as an alternate of other panel such as plywood, MDF and Particle, which prices will go up because of high tax slab of 28 %. Hence PVC foam board users may prefer to use this product compare to other products. There is no visible reason that prices of PVC boards will be impacted because the units will have to add GST as an addition to past prices. It must be noted that majority of PVC boards makers are SSI units and were running exempted of excise duty so far.

In general the prices of PVC Foam board will remain unaffected, even for SSI units, because the producers buy almost all raw materials after paying taxes, which are almost in same GST slab so they can take MODVAT. It is noted that PVC foam board sector is very young in India market and has been started just 5 years back. With 100 operational units and 900 cr annual market size, this trade is led by Alstone, Amulya, Black Cobra,Alutuff and others. Recently, Reliance Industry has also entered into this sector and offering ready compounds to PVC sector. Reliance has recently announced tie up with German company Resysta, for making compound in India. Seeing the opportunity in this product segment India’s leading plywood brands Century ply and Greenply also have launched PVC boards.

The woodpanel timber surfacedécor and door-window industry forms a complete eco system and integrated with each other where more than 1.5 lacs of distributors, dealers and retailers are connected from building material trade.

NIPMA and various other state departments made rigorous last ditch effort to persuade GST committee for lowering 28 % GST slab on wood panel products. The group of manufacturers and state delegations from UP, Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Delhi, Kerala etc met the respective state level Finance secretaries and Ministers. The effort is being made (till writing this article) to put up the key points to Union Cabinet Minister of Finance Mr Arun Jaitley so that majority of small sized manufactures can be protected or given a breather from steep 28 percent tax. The key points from the Nipma presentation is as follows. * Plywood, Blockboard and Flush Doors falls under Chapter 44 of HSN and its main raw material is Popular/Eucalyptus which is an agricultural produce. More than 3200 units in the MSME sector in the country are engaged in the manufacturing of Plywood, Blockboard& Flush Doors. * Each of these unit provide employment to 160-300 workers directly or indirectly. Total employment generation is in the range of 6 Iakh workers in the country. Most of the Units are availing SSI exemption on Excise duty of 12.5 percent since being under turnover within 150 lakh. However they are eligible for CENVAT credit which is about 20% of the payable tax, there for effective rate of tax paying is 10 percent. * VAT applicable in different states on sale of plywood, block board % flush doors is varying from 5% to 14.5%. the average rate of tax payable is 9%. ( The GST schedule proposes to collect tax on supply of Plywood, Blockboard Flush Doors at 28% against the present effective rate of 9% on sales upto Rs 150 lakh. These small units would be liable for payment of tax @28%. In this way the cost to consumer would suddenly increase by (28 -9) = 19% from the appointed date.

( Even if it is considered that the GST has to take care of the excise duties paid by the units having clearances of more than Rs. 150 lacs, the effective rate of Central Excise Duty being paid by them on overall sale of Plywood, blockboard& Flush Doors (after adjustment of CENVAT credit) would not even be 6%. On this basis also, the maximum amount of tax being collected by central/state governments in the existing system of taxation would not be more than 15%.
cover story
( The luxurious rate of 28%, if applied to plywood industry, the higher taxation would not be accepted by the market and many of small units will die which would not only result in loss to exchequer but also to employment. ( In case it is not possible to accept the request of reducing the rate of Plywood & blackboard & Flush Doors to 12%. It may be kept @18%. Even by applying 18 % tax rate the net revenue to the government would be much more than the revenue being collected in existing system. The increase in revenue to the government would be about Rs. 500 crore. ( Even though the scheme of taxation under GST system is seamless flow of credit the ITC available to the units (other than tax payable under reverse charge on purchase of timber) would be about 3.6%, the remaining raw material (about 20 %) being chargeable to tax @18%.

NEXT SIX MONTHS ARE PRECIOUS TO ADOPT CHANGES FOR GST The manufacturing sector of wood panel surfacing business has lot to cover in Oct16March 17. Come April 2017 and GST looks certain to be implemented. After April 2017, GST network or its practical implementation may offer some more time that could be an added golden time for those who are not ready.

GST is going to bringa big change coming in the way of unorganised work practices. During Ply Reporter Seminar on GST in Yamuna Nagar, experts sounded the same that ‘Next six months is an opportune time to evaluate GST effect on your brand/industry’and to find that “where will it stand if prices of leading brands comes down by 8-10 percent?(due to Tax reduction from 27 percent to anticipated 18 percent)”. Following six points in next six months looks good enough to keep you going
42
1. Optimising Production and focus on limited markets/states according to your plant capacity. One must not make a hasty effort to spread widely if he has 20-30 trucks of monthly production capacity. You might fetch better ground if working is focussed in 3-4 states. 2. Appointing sales people and training them to present your product smartly.They must be trained and motivated enough to explain the benefit of quality offered by yourplant likequick delivery, attentive-direct approach and personalised attention of the owner. The sales people shall also be trained for ‘Motivate dealers to work with self-efforts, specially I metro cities. It need to be told repeatedly that dealer own effort in his market van only give them brand exclusivity for the area and desired margin. 3. It is time to create a better & higher quality product than before. We know that post GST, the price advantage to small players (because of low taxes) will disappear and hence they have to remain in game only by higher quality product and confidence. If you prepare a product by raising standards with Material, Machine and Men inside your manufacturing plant, it will greatly help to sustain your sales and margins in coming time. 4. GST to affect small players in plywood & laminate segment largely hence the next Six months are precious time to get ready for organised and tax paid working. Streamline your book keeping, accounts, stocks, vendors, supplies, material handling, sales turn overs and past records to feel least hurdle when GST working comes in to effect. 5. Dealers will start asking for organised working and branding hence it is time to create system for transparency in dealings, billing, taxes. One must

not forget that 1.5 crore limit is not there instead it is replaced by Rs 20 lacs per annum turnover. Majority of the ‘ply-lam’ dealers will come under GST (20 lacs is a small limit for plywood dealers). 6. Unlike before, spend on ads will increase hence either prepare for yearly ad-budget or remain on back bench to do job work for other brandsfor very thin margin. Every ambitious plywood or laminate manufacturer with a decent capacity must plan to spend on their strong markets to remain strong.
Editorial, December 2016 1. The change is here to stay and most of the business will be accounted. 2. Accept the fact that evasion for others benefit is of no use rather go for transparent working. Less earning is better than unreported cash. 3. Start believe that “Cheque is the new cash”. Cheques will be the determining factor of your financial strength, brand or annual turnover. 4. There will be a contraction for 8-9 months and then there will be actual growth. The bubble is gone and the real growth is going to come.
cover story
5. To gain the share of growth, one may have to approach bank, take debt working capital, term loan, OD, LC, CC, LAP etc. or generate capital from other shareholders. 6. Organize work culture with proper marketing establishment and widening presence of brand in every key city, town and rural belt is the only way to act for growth. 7. Companies will be more concerned of capital hence credit period will shrink and traders have to start paying on time. No one will pay interest for money used by someone else. 8. Value for money, Flexibility in terms, Empowering performers, Able people and Brand building will be the base for any business.
44
9. Professionalism, paper work, formality in business and brand building exercises will create opening for many new brands in the new era. The value of intelligent people and strategists will rise as businesses will need to be constantly on track to deliver results.

At Ply Reporter, we believe there is plenty to gain by 2019-20 from this move but there is more at stake for SME’s, MSME’s, Informal sector. The industry is set to embrace a big cut in production, cut in jobs and decrease in sentiments. There must be some relief from the government may be by reducing excise tax, service tax or supporting in some other way so that real estate sector is stable. That will ensure the best for the connected building & interior materials industry.

2017 will witness many winners & few losers too The new year begun on a positive note as inputs received on 2/3rd January was better than the news of sales in December 2016. Panel products are getting support from ongoing projects, which is comforting for the industry. The movement of Material, Money and Manpower is getting back to normal, signalling faster than expected recovery. Earlier it was anticipated ‘January to March’ quarter could be very bad but it seems the effect may not be ‘that’ bad for this sector. The way trade seems to be adjusting Post DeMo shows strong resilience of Indian entrepreneurs and customers.

The small/ unorganized plyboard industries are facing drop in production, not due to lack of demand but due to timber suppliers’ reluctance in accepting cheques or other modes of payment. The present sentiments hint that Mid segment Plywood industries are gathering funds and resources to jump back in markets with ‘full force’ to snatch back their market share. It is a matter of 5-6 weeks when things will be near to normal and factories will be operating at 75-80 percent capacities.

Laminate units are reporting faster than expected recovery. Majority of decorative laminate industries, small or big seems confident and happy over the ‘push for getting organized and cleansing’ efforts. Thanks to good demand in 0.8 mm, high gloss and liner category, HPL sector has been recovering well so far. The 1.0 mm laminate pioneers have witnessed around 15-20 percent dullness on monthly numbers but a couple of players have been able to maintain their figures, some even registered growth in December. PB-MDF sector too was least impacted on demand front but there are continued hurdles on timber material supply. Organized/Branded companies are showing better than expected response post DeMo. 2017 is bringing them back to normal which is visible from their renewed Marketing plans, Fresh & Focused and new Product placement efforts. Liquidity issues, labor payments, billing structure, much needed working capital and narrowing gaps with immediate brands on the growth track are emerging as challenges to the unorganized category but 70-75 percent of the ply-lam units are getting used to formal/ reported business and are actively preparing themselves to embrace the change. Year 2017 will mark huge opportunities for ‘desperate to be organized’ players and huge risk/death of ‘still not ready to accept the change’ players. There will be many winners among those who can visualize the scenario of 2019 & beyond and few losers who can’t. I pray for those who still think that ‘things will continue to go as it is’ and wish everyone to be prepared & bold for better factory layout, automated process of timbers and material handlings with very active approach in sales and branding.

VIEWS OF INDUSTRY PIONEERS: It is matter of great discomfort for wood panel products to be at 28 % GST slab. The wood panel industry has to bear an extra 13-15 percent tax from its own P& L account. We have lost a big opportunity to bring this trade in organised manner and could have driven growth. At 28% GST on wood panel products, it will be a challenging task to bring this trade in complete harmony. It is a negative at 28 but could offered opportunity for all at lower slabs.
MR. RAKESH AGARWAL,

GST slab of 18 % would have been the right category for MDF & PB. Still Organised players are going to grow faster because GST network considers whole chain thus any unreported business transaction is not possible or will be tracked later. GST is going to ease up the tax structure and we at Action are going to gain benefit irrespective of GST rate because now Action products will provide input credit to buyers which was not available due to exemption in Uttarakhand so far. In MDF/PB certainly brands like Action, Green are going to gain. The future for unregistered businesses are going to end from July 1st.
MR. AJAY AGARWAL,
MD, BALAJI ACTION BUILDWELL GST is not going to impact much the MDF industry because it has large players who work in organise way. The high tax of 28 percent may have some implications and it could have been better at 18 percent for benefit of consumers. Since other main materials that are used in the same applications of wood panel products are Plywood and Particle board and both of these are at 28% rate hence there is no much impact. On the contrary GST will add cost for plywood where as MDF will be in advantageous position. GST is a very needed reform.
MR. SHOBHAN MITTAL,
JMD, GREENPLY INDUSTRIES LTD.
GST is giving a distinct advantage to organised companies and big brands. There will be consolidation in the industry and brands like Century or Green are going to benefit the most. With rise in per capita income the overall consumption of wood panel products will grow. The benefit of GST will also go to MDF. I am very bullish on growth of Plywood, Laminate and MDF for us and GST is going to be a game changer.
MR. KESHAV BHAJJANKA, DIRECTOR, CENTURY PLYBOARDS (I) LTD. www.plyreporter.com
The Ply RePoRTeR june 2017
GST is going to bring equality in the trade. Small industries will have to join the organised work culture and hence competition will not be only on the price front instead now the comparison will be on COST, QUALITY & AVAILABILITY of the material. The GST reform is going to bring a big change in mindset of entrepreneurs where they have to evolve at higher levels. If they try to maintain the status-quo then it wont be easy to sustain or keep running. There is going to be big overhaul and efficiency check in supply chain and inventory management at stock levels. A tightly managed company with compliance and hygiene will rise where as narrow working mindset will pushed backwards.

MR. MADHUSUDAN LOHIA, DIRECTOR, MERINO INDUSTRIES
GST is a much awaited reform and is going to give a big boost to the decorative laminate industry. GST is suitably made for big sized industries and hence I can say â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigger is your industry, better and bigger is the benefit from itâ&#x20AC;?. GST has given a big boost to organised sector and will prove to be a game changer.
MR. SURINDER PAL ARORA,
MD, VIRGO GROUP
52 Manufacturing cost of unorganized and small sector plywood companies will definitely go up with immediate affect after GST, hence their product will be high cost. They should accept this change if they want to survive further. There will be a challenge for medium and small scale plywood companies because brands are offering economical range product aggressively to take advantage of GST. Small companies should focus on quality, marketing and awareness for survival. Next 3 to 4 months will be very interesting for wood panel trade once GST comes into effect.
MR ASHfAq,
MD, TROjAN PLywOOD
28 percent GST slab is very negative for the wood panel industry and trade. It will not only create problems and hurdles but will also drift away customers to imported panel products.

OpiniOn Of ‘WOOd panel Trade’ peOple On GST
cover story
There is big chaos in our trade with 28% GST slab on Plywood. Since our big industry is contributing very low on tax that has led to such outcome. Apart from few big and medium size players, majority have restricted turnover which will swell now. From the view point of trading community, initially whole process will be bit cumbersome but that is the only way how world deals & when will look for parity with International trade and growth of our country, we will have to accept this change. Initially it will affect markets but later future looks much brighter & trade will touch new heights in coming time.

Projects will be unaffected whatever will be the rate of GST, but retail demand could be a temporarily hit. Small & unorganised ply producers should accept the change for the benefit of the trade because they are major contributors. India is a very big country, so there are many takers of the material produced by unorganised sector if they turn organised. They should come in books first and there is whole big market for growth for each of them.

Adopting complete organised model is going to increase cost and compliances. Many of ply manufacturers in South have improved their product quality and trying to be parallel to the branded material during last few months especially in Karnataka regions. On the other hand alternative panels like MDF are coming up as replacement for plywood in few uses, so after GST, MDF is also in competition. There is tough time for small players but if they show confidence and sustain for 8-9 months then semi-organised brands could emerge as semi brands too who have plenty of scope. Those who do not change will have trouble in coming days. If small and mid size players adopt organised way with focus on marketing and quality then everything else will fit in place automatically as no one knows the future and GST is practically very new for all.

The SSI should opt to be an outsourcing point for bigger brands for a period till they become stronger to sustain because old practices won’t be possible. In future, the organised work culture will benefit all as we are expecting better growth ahead and dealer will support such units who will become organised and quality conscious as they don’t have option. They should be confident and move forward with quality and fare means of trade.

Government proposal is to give housing for all by 2022 and rise in residential projects is making a bright future for plywood industry. High rate of GST will affect local producers but they must be confident for the change and improve their quality in coming days. If SSI units produce quality products, it will be sold on ‘of its own’ and there would not be any difficulty for dealers also and if they become in bill and organised, every dealer will support such brands. We are planning to get associated with the players who are local or branded and practicing good quality with fare working system.

SSI will be badly affected after GST, still they will have to survive either happily or unhappily. The dealers will certainly need them if they improve quality. Now with increasing competition with brands, small manufacturers will have to initiate marketing practices and process to direct selling. If everyone will practice the same there would not be any problem and the industry will be organised and strengthened. They will have to be organised and adopt the fare means and increase their network and expand their market reach. After implementation the market will be smooth flow in three months.

SSI manufacturing cost will rise by 20 percent higher rate, hence they may lose their customers base and the brand will get benefited. They can survive and even grow but they have to become organised and improve their product quality. Dealers will also have to follow the organised way of working. The dynamic dealers may incline to brands as their improved sales will support their dealers instead of local manufacturers. Currently we are working under self private brand and in GST regime we will improve its presence and expand the market. How can a dealer support to non-brand if there is availability of brand on same price. It is sure those dealers will shift their reach to branded one hence create a better quality, marketing system and create brand. In the beginning the sales will come down but after six months people will have a different thinking for plywood industry.

If Ply, MDF will have to go under 28% GST, SSI will be affected and if it is 12% then government tax will grow along with the industry growth. The end consumers are not able to bear the high rate of tax of 28% resultantly old practices will continue. There is no choice so better adopt the system and move accordingly. GST will facilitate a platform to unite the industry and for many quality and market expansion will become prime focus now. Traders community have solutions to all odds, they will move ahead with GST from the day one and choose the suppliers according to their profit.

I don’t think there would be any big effect of GST on SSI product manufacturers except the rate increase of 6-7%. Alternatively everyone will be benefited who have a link up.The manufacturers will charge on customers due to which there will be slowdown for a while, but in coming days more ompanies would become organised and they will be benefited. There would not be much changes in the market condition, but will benefit all.

I don’t think there would be any big effect of GST on SSI product manufacturers except the rate increase of 6-7%. Alternatively everyone will be benefited who have a link up.The manufacturers will charge on customers due to which there will be slowdown for a while, but in coming days more ompanies would become organised and they will be benefited. There would not be much changes in the market condition, but will benefit all.

Undoubtedly GST has a huge long term positive effect but there are bound to be trade disruptions for the time being. Entire plywood fraternity were expecting a slab of 18% but matching 28% rate would be a real challenge to thousands of small manufacturers where they are still under excise exemptions. Apart from this strict government’s implications of GST to bring entire plywood trade under the same tax net would decide the fate of this industry. Otherwise the current structure will only mean one thing — the eventual decline of Small manufacturer whether in terms of overall profitability, volume of output or revenues.

GST will impact each product trade scenario in wood panels. Certainly everyone has to come into organised system and those who will not practice with fare means will have to face difficulty or have to go. But demand wise things will grow up as furniture making will not go down. During VAT, people were afraid and the same is happening this time. I think in 6 months, situation will be smooth. I am bullish that veneer market will be as it is or may even improve post GST. Besides govt projects, the residential projects in the suburbs of metro cities is going on at fast pace. Indian consumers have come to luxury habits, so in premium segment veneers and marble consumption in India is not going down in coming five-ten years.

The difference in branded and un-branded will reduce as tax cost in unorganised sector will rise. If the higher rate of 28% comes the manufacturers may balance their production after 3 months but there could be a slowdown as had happened after DeMo, which have not reached to smooth line till now. Small size players don’t have much margin gap so it is really tough to imagine how they will increase their product price by 15-20 percent all of sudden. If they can survive for six months and adopt the organised model of working they will come to the rout and sustain in the market.

The matter of GST is still heazy for everyone as there is no clarity on the matter. After all I think the traders will not be affected because the tax is ultimately on consumers. If GST comes in on the said date there would be a little hulla-balloo for 2- 3 months after that everything will be smoothlined.

abon is a picturesque and natural resources rich country in West Central Africa. Gabon is one of the Africa’s most stable countries since its independence in 1960. With astonishing resources: Oil, Manganese (2nd largest producer in the world for high grade), tropical forest with more than 400 identified species and some major infrastructures, Gabon is the new face of the progressive and prosperous Africa. With a strategic location at the heart of Africa, Gabon offers an ideal gateway for entry to a regional market of 250 million consumers. This is why several multinationals and visionary SME have been attracted by its great assets and have decided to establish their business here.
GABON FOREST … home of Okoumé Forestry has been one of the driving sectors of the economy. Boasting the second highest forestry potential in Africa, Gabon’s forests covers 22.8 million hectares, i.e. 88% of the country’s land surface. Gabon’s reserves of exploitable timber includes 130 million cubic meters of Okoumé and 270 million cubic meters of other hardwood species. Forestry is, and will remain, one of the pillars of Gabon’s economic and social development. Gabon has a low deforestation rate, forests rich in valuable timber species and among the best prospects for a healthy and sustainable forest industry. The timber industry is already the largest private sector employer, employing 28% of the working population, and represents an extremely significant growth potential. www.plyreporter.com
OKOUMÉ… world’s best materials for rotary cut veneers Commercial forest harvesting in Gabon began as early as 1892, but only in 1913 was Okoumé, Gabon’s most valuable wood, introduced to the international market. Gabon supplies 90% of the world’s Okoumé, known worldwide for the production of veneer &plywood. Aucoumeaklaineana (Angouma, Gaboon, or Okoumé) is found in equatorial West Africa in Gabon and surrounding countries. Okoumé is a medium-sized hardwood tree growing to 30-40 m tall with a trunk diameter in the range of 1 to 2.5 meters. Its attractive appearance means that it is often used decoratively as the top

GABON SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE (GSEZ) … a competitive business environment The Special Economic Zone, spread over 1126 ha at Nkok (20 Km from the capital city of Libreville), is the outcome of a shared vision of Gabonese Republic and Olam to
effectively master the transition toward industrialization of Gabon. Africa is opening up to investments and Gabonhas clearly taken the lead in attracting investors by doling out number of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. SEZ at Nkok currently has 96 industrial investors from 17 nationalities.Out of 96 investors, 30 are from India. The industries making SEZ as base are mainly industries into wood transformation (saw mill, veneer and plywood). As on date, 36 companies are already under production and another 30 companies are in different stages of construction. It is expected that more than 65 companies will be under commercial production by Q3 of 2017. Greenply, India has recently started production in its veneer unit.

ater pollution is a major concern for any industry and for the reason the industry has to face different regulation from

following precautions for the manufacturing PF or MUF in resin plants to eradicate water pollution generated from Glue mixtures and Glue spreaders.
Resin Cattle It is a general believe that after making PF/MUF charge

cattle must be washed. In fact after many tastings it has been found that for making next charge without washing the cattle there is a little difference in the colour but there is no difference in quality. Presently finding solute for water pollution is much important to the colour of resin. a.

method we can reduce the water consumption

resulting into water conservation and reduce water
start the starrer to mix the remaining resin into formalin, after that make the next charge of resin. b.
After making last charge of resin before the weekly holiday fill the cattle with formalin and start the starrer for 15 minutes.
c.
On the first day of the next week unload excess formalin and keep the required amount of formalin to make resin by mixing required material for next charge. The unloaded formalin will be used in making another charge.
For Glue Mixture/Glue Spreader Generally it is misconception that on which glue mixture/ glue spreader the glue for PF/MUF is running, washing is necessary if we change to different glues.

It has been found in many tests that there
pollution. b.
Moving forward it is resulting that on the last day of the week the Glue Mixture/Glue Spreader should be washed and store that water after filtering it. Later a pinch of lime should be added in it. In this way there will be separation of much solid content.
This separated water can be used as a caustic for making solution. Again there is left amount of water, it can be used dipping solution (the solution in which plywood/black board/flush door, etc. is dipped to make it borer and termite proof). This innovative idea can make plywood unit free from water pollution.

nnovation in the manufacturing process and excellence in services define Greenply Industries Limited as a brand. As the largest plywood manufacturing company in India, Greenply has managed to gain the trust and confidence of countless consumers across the nation. The journey that it had started, over three decades ago, has flourished into one of the most successful ventures known to the plywood manufacturing industry. But excellence in the manufacturing process isn’t the only reason why Greenply enjoys such popularity. The real secret to Greenply’s achievements lies in the bond that the company shares with its trade partners. With their help, the brand has set new milestones for itself, and expanded its horizon of aspirations. Today, it is a symbol of trust, a promise of quality. Four years ago, Greenply had created the Green Ace Clubs, to celebrate the bond that the brand shares with its trade partners, and to thank them for their support and contribution.

Mr. Subir Palit, Country Head, Greenply
This year, the Ace Onyx and the Ace Jade clubs had decided to take 300 of its members on a trip to Thailand. While the associates of the Ace Onyx Club enjoyed a 3-day holiday in Pattaya, the members of the latter were taken to Bangkok, as well. They checked in at the DusitThani Hotel and the Amari Hotel, before going out for a tour of the two cities. From a visit to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum, to an excursion to the NongNooch village, the itinerary designed for the club members was as unique, as it was interesting. After an exhilarating day of shopping and sight-seeing, the partners were served authentic Indian lunch at Baan Sukhawadee, and taken on a marine and safari trip. The main attraction of the holiday was the Gala Night, where the trade partners were personally acknowledged and thanked for their performance, with awards and a cocktail dinner. Mr Rajesh Mittal, Managing Director of Greenply Industries Limited, addressed the trade partners personally, and spoke about his plans for the brand’s
“At Greenply, we believe that no goal is too far away when you set your mind to it. Our success so far has been phenomenal. It’s time to evaluate our performance and set a new target. Remember, my friends, you are your sole competition.”, said Rajesh Mittal, while delivering his speech to the gathered guests. When asked to share his experience, a member of the Ace Onyx Club remarked, “Working with Greenply has always been a pleasurable experience. It knows how to conduct business, and treat its partners.” A member of the Ace Jade Club, extended his heartfelt gratitude to Greenply, for organising an eventful holiday. “Greenply doesn’t believe in all work and no play. That is why it is so different from other brands, and so very successful.” He added. With more than 53 branches and over 5000 trade partners across India, Greenply enjoys the largest market share in the industry. It takes pride in being the biggest manufacturer of plywood, blockboards, veneers and doors, to date. With the support of its partners, Greenply is destined to rise beyond expectations, and leave behind an evergreen mark. www.plyreporter.com

GABON VENEER ; PROmisiNG stARt At sustAiNABlE sOuRcE
GABON VENEER SARL, a company jointly promoted by NRI investors, have established a face veneer plant in Nkok SEZ developed by Gabon Special Economic Zone (GSEZ) SA. Their unit is now operation for over 6 months. The Ply Reporter presents an exclusive interview of Mr Archit Goel &Mr Dushyant Dahra, the Directorsof Gabon Veneer SARL. The conversation should apprise our Readers about the accomplishments of this company, who are originally from India, and the success achieved by them in a short span of just six months with the active help from Gabon SEZ SA.
170
Mr Archit Goel, Director, GABON VENEER SARL
We congratulate you & your company for setting up face veneer plant in Nkok SEZ, Gabon. We would like to know more about product and activities of Gabon Veneer SARL. Mr Archit Goel:Thanks, we are currently running a veneer plant to process 12,000 cubic meters of OkoumĂŠ per year for face veneer. We are producing Okoume veneer of various thickness ranging from 0.3mm to 0.6 mm and are supplying to all ports in India, Nepal, www.plyreporter.com
Mr Dushyant Dahra Director, GABON VENEER SARL
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. In near future, we are planning expansion to gradually increase the production of veneer plant to 36,000 cubic meters per year. We are also under discussion with Gabon Special Economic Zone to set up a saw mill and kiln dryer as sawn Okoume demand is increasing in Middle East and China.
The Ply RePoRTeR may 2017
Why did you choose Gabon, Africa to establish your face veneer plant? Also about what other type of timber species are available in Gabon?
Apart from Okoumé, Gabon’s stock of exploitable timber includes 270 million cubic meter of timber with more than 400 species including Padouk, Tali, Beli, Sapelli, Sipo, Movingui, Belinga, Okan, Iroko, Ovangakol, Acajau, Wenge, Kevazingo etc. What is scenario of raw material supply for your face veneer plant? Mr Archit Goel: Around 12.5 million hectares out of total 22.8 million hectares of forest is under logging concessions in Gabon. There are more than 50 established logging companies in Gabon who own 80% of the allotted forest concessions and industrial units may purchase required quantity of Okoumé logs from them. GSEZ SA is also operating a Okoumé log supply chain for units in Nkok SEZ and offers long term contract for assured supply of raw material i.e. Okoumé round logs. As of now, we are getting 100% of required raw material supply from GSEZ SA like few other veneer units in Nkok SEZ. There are some community forests and industrial units may procure round logs from there as well. What is your opinion about overall industrial climate in Gabon? Mr Dushyant Dahra: We are well versed with opportunities and challenges in Africa because of our existing pharma and wood operations in many African countries. From my 10 years of professional experience in Africa I can confidently say that Gabon is one of the Africa’s most politically and socially stable country with positive outlook towards foreign investors. It is only the investor friendly policies and remarkably implemented single window approval approach that the Gabon SEZ has 105 investors from 17 countries. I am sure all 20+ investors from India will have a similar point of view about Gabon. Setting up a new business in an African country should have been a challenging task.How do you rate the ease of doing business in Gabon SEZ?
Mr Dushyant Dahra: Establishing a new business in a foreign territory is always a challenge but Single Window Clearance Facility of Gabon SEZ made it simple for us. All concerned 17 departments dealing with approvals/ licenses for setting up and operating an industrial unit are housed within a single building within the SEZ. The staff is very friendly and cooperative. As per the SEZ act there are set timelines for each approval and in case the timeline is exceeded it can be assumed as deemed approval. How would rate the infrastructure and facilities provided in the Nkok SEZ? Mr Dushyant Dahra: The requisite infrastructure for the entire SEZ of1126 ha of SEZ was fully developed even before entry of the first industrial unit. GSEZ SA provides reliable utilities like electricity at subsidized price, water, broadband internet, sewage treatment, waste management, container terminal, log park etc. Proper maintenance of roads, street light, security and general cleanliness in manufacturing focused Gabon SEZ can be compared with many state of the art Information Technology SEZs in India. What is your message for our readers, as many of them may like to explore the business opportunities in Gabon? Mr Dushyant Dahra: We took the decision to start veneer plant here because Gabon offers sustainable supply of raw material i.e. round logs. Moreover, Gabon SEZ is situated geopolitically in the right place and has water, road and railway access. Further, units settling down in the SEZ also benefit from the fiscal incentives offered by Government of Gabon like exemption from all taxes and duties on import& export. We would say “Welcome All” because Nkok SEZ is a good place for investment in manufacturing sector - especially wood transformation. www.plyreporter.com
inTeRview
Mr Archit Goel:Worldwide the availability of wood species good for face veneer is getting reduced. Africa is one continent rich in natural resources like wood and Gabon in Africa is the country with second biggest forest resource base. So Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) practice of forestry which will ensure wood availability for many years to come, ease of doing business, investor friendly government policies, SEZ benefits covering all kinds of tax exemption for 25 years plus, political stability, good quality of life were the reasons for choosing Gabon.

Sarda Plywood Industries, Makers of ‘Duro’ are celebrating their successful 60 years in wood panel industry. Sarda Plywood is known for long term business association with their dealers. There are many dealers who are associated with them since ‘Duro’ inception. Majority of Duro Dealers are known as ‘Elite Class dealers’ of their city and they give their credit to mutual understanding and growth. On the occasion of 60 years of clean and transparent business legacy created by Duro, The Ply Reporter has began a series to publish the views & interview of selected few among Duro Dealers family, where the curiosity is to know that how a company-dealer bonding goes beyond decades. The interaction is an example for the ambitious traders and manufacturers. In this issue, we present an interaction with Mr. Yoginder Jain and his son Rahul Jain, Plywood Sales Corporation, Rohtak, Haryana.

“We have been associated With dURo since 50 yeaRs and oUR identity is attached With them”
172
Yoginder Jain entered Plywood Business in 1966 in Paharganj, New Delhi with his brother Sukh Sagar Jain, M/s Sen & Co and has been associated with Sarda Plywood since then. Yoginder Jain moved to Rohtak in 1968 and started his own firm Plywood Sales Corporation as the first plywood shop in Rohtak ( Haryana). This year they are celebrating their 50 Golden years of being in Plywood Trade and more importantly with a Leading Brand DURO. Excerpts….. Mr. Yoginder Jain, Plywood Sales Corporation, Rohtak, Haryana
How far has been your journey in plywood trade? We have been associated with plywood since the time plywood came into Indian market. In those days, plywood used to come from Assam in Railway Wagons and at that time we were the depot of Plywood for many parts of Haryana. When I came to Rohtak, I was the first one to introduce this plywood product here and in those times I used to sell 3 mm plywood for 52 paise per sq ft and 19 mm board for Rs2.5 per sq ft. I have great delight to share that I stayed in this trade for the last 50 years and achieved great success, repute and development. When did you get in touch with DURO and how is your association with them? Our association with Duro is longest and has been their oldest dealer since the beginning. We were associated with them since 1966 from Paharganj, Delhi where our shop and their office were close by. In 1970, we used to buy Jenny Plywood along with Duro Plywood. Late Sh.K.K Maheshwari, who used to be Director Sales was the man behind our success as he guided and supported us in every matter. I remember going to Manali for Duro www.plyreporter.com
Dealer meet with Company Chairman Sh. P D Chitlangiya and Smt.Sarda Chitlangya. We have remained true to our value system and principles which we learnt from Duro plywood and due to that reason, we have been together for more than five decades. Till date, we never had a single instance of any dispute or difference with the company. The new generations at the Duro ply have also taken the value systems of the earlier generations and will take the company to great heights. How does DURO brand helpful for dealers’ growth? To me DURO is another name for QUALITY. Over a period of time, quality pays and it pays really well. Duro manufactures all its products at its own facility and never compromises with the quality of raw material used in their products. In my span of 50 years, I have come across not more than 4-5 complaints of these products, due to which I sell with full conviction that I am selling the best product. This has led to our growth and every dealer’s growth who is associated with Duro. There policy, rules and terms are very transparent which further gives ease of doing business with them. They employ one of the best sales professionals in the trade.
the Ply rePorter june 2017
Teak plywood is one such product which is very close to my heart as it is one of the best available in the market. The quality of grains and thickness of veneer is unmatched in the market. I can say Duro Teak is a symbol of beauty and 19mm Durobord is a symbol of strength. What is your take on DURO’s 100% Lifetime Guarantee on their products? Actually they were responding to customer complaints even earlier and giving the claims where ever required. Now they have published it on the products in order to show their 100% confidence about their products. This has definitely helped us gain further market reach and developed more trust in Duro as a brand. What is your expectation from Sarda Plywood Industries? Sarda plywood should remain undisputed market leader of Plywood Industry. They should keep their quality as their first priority instead of making turnover and quantity. As I have shared, the value system and principles of business ethics is the core of this group which should remain forever. They should bring in newer products and innovation from other countries through collaborations and technology transfer in order to further increase their product base and market reach. Above all they must as they always been doing, build and maintain family relations with the entire dealer network as one “BIG DURO FAMILY”. Do you want to say to anything to team DURO? DURO team at factory must concentrate on improving quality further to produce zero defect plywood and block boards. They must make sure they maintain correct parameters to give board and plywood the correct strength and water proofing to meet ISI specifications. Duro marketing team has become very aggressive in order to reach out to any small or big project. They should now involve more technology in order to track every possible project and its closure. Our message to team DURO is loud & clear – Stay on track with quality, Stay on track with your policies and keep improve your brand slowly and steadily. Do you think the market of plywood has changed with time, how it has impacted you? Yes, definitely the market has changed completely over the years from the way we used to make furniture from sawn timber and wood. Plywood and block board changed the whole system in terms of time and cost and it still remains as the number one choice. New products like MDF and particle board have entered into the market
with technology and machines we are able to do much more in far different designs, quality and lower costs. As Duro dealer we have kept ourselves abreast with new products and changing times. Change and grow or you will be wiped out from the market. Tell us about your growth story and your strengths? We have grown a lot over the years as a number one dealer of the city where you get quality products of the entire range whether it is plywood, block board, laminates, MDF or soft boards. I sent my son to study at IIT Delhi, who has later joined me in my business and my daughter to Lady Shriram College, Delhi and is well settled in Malaysia with her family. We have also invested in real estate and grown many folds over the years. Our strength is that we don’t believe in cheating the customer at our business and we are transparent. The customer will always be the king at our shop and they will get the best of materials from us. This has been our growth story and I am quite fulfilled and satisfied with my life and I above all am happy about my 50 golden years of association with Duroply. What are your future plans and opinion about present market scenario? One buzz word which in there on everyone’s lips is “GST – Goods and Services Tax”. This will change the entire fabric of market. The plywood industry is now in 28% slab which is very high and we don’t know how we are going to cope up with such high tax slab viz a viz other products. The non-branded market will be severely hit as it will suffer very badly. Overall GST – one India tax will be a very good for our country’s economy and will bring us on global stage like many other countries. Plywood industry will also consolidate where only tough and solid players will survive. Your mantra of being best and doing best! After all said and done, business means growth, satisfaction and ethics. We will continue to grow through improving our product range. We will work harder in customer satisfaction and never leave our business ethics and value systems. We were completely destroyed in 1995 floods when our entire showroom and stocks of plywood and laminates were drowned under water losing everything that we had built in 28 years. But we rose again from scratch and rebuilt everything many times. We believe, in order to win in life, its important to not be defeated under any circumstances or situation. We must remain strong to face any kind of destiny or drama that life brings in front of us. Smile and look into the eyes of life and say – I will win no matter what. This is what I have learnt in my life and from people with whom I have associated. Thank you very much for your time and best wishes. www.plyreporter.com

Exhibition was very good. The first three days were very busy, and the last day was not so crowded but we are very much satisfied with the response of the customers at Interzum 2017 in Cologne, Germany. We receive many contacts and viewpoints from the people around the world like China, Argentina, Spain, South Africa, India etc. This year show is better, due to in-general the world economy is little bit better. In my opinion it is the best Interzum in last ten years.
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neW at LamIgarf Lamigraf always tries to present new designs, naturally produced product with the help of new technology for printing. It is life changing products with more investment and R&D work done at our ultra modern laboratory. Our current production capacity is 25, 000 sq ft per year in the factory in Germany (10,000), Brazil (5,000) and in a new building we expect to have a considerable good production. If we distribute the sector in HPL, LPL and Flooring, the Flooring segment is the leading section of our production.
India market is big but in terms of quality there is no competition and we cater to that. Our product is not an economical grade but we give a quality solution so there is no competition with already leading player in economical grade paper producers. In India we are focussing in all states for the development of our new design solutions.

In fact in Milano everybody absorbed that there is unparticular design trends will be prevalent this year. It is still a mixture of Oakes, Walnut, but a combination of natural stones is in trend. It is also all natural.
In my opinion it is decreasing presently. The market is stagnant and we printed very few this year compare to the past. HPL is not our main market but we can print for them. What will be the future of HPL globally it depends on their activity.

India is developing and very close to growth with HPL, it also depends on some great activity of IKEA, the fast moving international furniture manufactures in India. There might be a change with IKEA at national level. The Indian laminate producers are world class right now. They are exhibiting in Cologne, Germany for world market and are grabbing their attention. So India is very strong on this front.
On Interzum shOw We can say that we had four very intensive days during the show; customers from all over the world visited us and enquired about the product/solution we give. We are very happy and satisfied with the response at the show. This is the best ever shows compared in terms of the customer to customer relationship with organisers. The whole Interzum organisers team focused on making the show more attractive. They are the big organisers and make their efforts with marketing around the world, so it was a good decision to take part in this show.
On future Of hPL wOrLd-wIde In my opinion we have different pictures in different regions of the world; starting from Europe and Eastern Europe we have very consolidated market. If you look the markets like Middle East, they are economical having big possibilities, then Asia and Asia Pacific is the main growth area, after that the market structure will be changing in North America, and South America and Brazil comes where the chances are incredible. It will grow but it depends on the change in material. The market outlook www.plyreporter.com

Light wood grain & light structures with certain pattern is likely to grow. We see Whites-Blue has an importance as a shift to more colours which is light. Two things are linked to that as the stone is becoming more popular; secondly, we try to show first its dis-ability to printing on wide format and large format using the technical options we have with our machines normally. In classic printing we have repeated designs which are in one meter. In Digital for sample there is a great possibility to create designs in five meters from big scale at large format it is amazing. Its quality is excellent and accommodation with the large surface is totally a new experience. The synchronised laminate paper is also growing well.

EGGERZUM’s nEw intRodUctions offER ExpREssivE individUality The wood-based materials manufacturer already shared glimpses of its new introductions during the in-house exhibition EGGERZUM 2017. More details are emerging at interzum in Cologne: the quality of wood and material decors increases with the premium surface PerfectSense, matt surfaces are brought together for a comprehensive application concept, textures are even more authentic, and edges set striking and harmonious accents.
review
The in-house exhibition EGGERZUM has been organised for clients in the furniture industry for more than 20 years in various locations. “In the years in which Interzum in Cologne also takes place, we introduce our newly developed decors, textures and products to a large international trade fair audience”, says Klaus Monhoff, Head of Design and Decor Management.

PerfectSense represents the premium category of gloss and matt decorative lacquered boards, with the proven quality of an EGGER MDF core. Visually attractive with a smooth touch, the product is suited for applications in residential and commercial areas, in upscale retail, as well as for furniture design. PerfectSense Gloss impresses with its high depth effect and real glass look. On the other hand, PerfectSense Matt has a velvety feel, anti-fingerprint feature, and the possibility to realise elegant, modern fronts without handles. The homogeneity of the MDF boards used allows for a flat, flawless surface. The unique UV lacquer makes them highly durable. EGGER thus achieves unprecedented surface qualities and gives PerfectSense even more variety. The expanded decor variety was awarded “High product quality” at the interzum award, ‘intelligent material & design 2017’. Matt surfaces convey a cosy and elegant room atmosphere. EGGER presents its new matt concept at the Interzum 2017 in Cologne. This is where the woodbased materials manufacturer brings together all its
www.plyreporter.com
products with a velvety, matt surface. This allows for complete solutions in the matt trend to be realized with products from a single source. They are used in furniture elements, carcasses, through to the worktops. The well-known PerfectSense Matt lacquered boards have a very warm and velvety feel with anti-fingerprint feature, which prevents fingerprints from marking and thus enables front solutions without handles. This surface is very well suited for use in furniture frontals or for sliding doors and wall cladding. EGGER also offers PerfectSense Matt as a laminate for vertical applications. A new innovation is PerfectSense Topmatt laminate, presented by EGGER for the first time at Interzum in Cologne. EGGER won the award “High product quality” at the interzum award ‘intelligent material & design 2017’ for this surface innovation. The combination of matt and stone is currently popular for surfaces, particularly on worktops. EGGER responds to this design preference with ST76 Matex Rough Matt The surface innovation is modelled on a mottled and softly-brushed natural stone surface, and can be used on a wide range of stone reproductions. ST76 received a “Special Mention” at the German Design Award 2017.

REVIEW OF THE PLY REPORTER ON SHOW
INTERZUM 2017:
Interzum is an exhibition that provides a definite direction and possibilities in sync with emerging trends in the world of furniture manufacturing & supply industry. We at Ply Reporter believes, Interzum is one of the most important fairs in the field of materials & décor related to wood panels, furniture hardware and interior innovations. This is where the Indian Laminate and decorative veneer industry can see, touch and feel the latest innovations. Interzum has been a platform where majority of designs in HPL, flooring, HPL Façade, Hardware and beddings catch up with the practical trends. Interzum 2017 carried the same enthusiasm and eagerness despite of several ups and downs visible in the world economic scenario. The Ply Reporter team feels delighted to make interesting discoveries on their visit to the fair each time. Also, Interzum is like a family & friends get-together for the industry. The Trend in decorative laminate designs were dominated by natural stones, abstract and digital creations, light colour wood grains etc. The heptic feel on foils seemed much closer to reality although India is not yet using much of foils on furniture. This Interzum witnessed higher participation from Indian Laminate companies who not only presented themselves in prime locations with bigger presence but also aesthetically well designed.
The trend in decorative veneers looked almost same as last time. The veneer trend always depends upon the availability of wood species and exotic flitches in Europe and African veneering segment. The tilt towards more of organic material in veneers was observed by Ply Reporter in this Interzum. Hardware fittings have become smaller and trying to look almost invisible. Functionality with sleekness and beauty led the trend in hardware segment. The old manufacturing practices & technologies are combined with innovations to make way for new and smart components, was evident everywhere. The editor of Surfaces Reporter Magazine, Vertica Dvivedi, replied to the question of ‘what’s new this time at Interzum’ saying, “As designers & showrooms are looking for more innovative products & individualised designs, the choice of materials play a crucial role. This year, Interzum showed the way towards more light weight & efficient materials. There was more stress on bio-based products, from up-cycling to bio-fabrication. In Surface products, I saw more emphasis on giving better tactile, three dimensional experiences. Automation and Internet of Things (IOT) are on the rise and products & functionalities are being bridged for more smart living,” while adding, “Hardware fittings are becoming smaller and smaller with soft touch and smoother seamless functionalities.”

ST council has consented to implement GST from July 1, 2017 and from then a new tax regime will begin within a four-tier GST tax structure of 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. The structure will be functional with lower rates for essential items and the highest for luxury and de-merits goods that would also attract an additional cess. In a recent meeting of the council the proposed rate of tax for the plywood and panel industry to put many wood related products into 28 % bracket has created a chaos within industry and trade. It is reported that Plywood, Block Boards, Doors, MDF, Wood Particle Boards which have attracted the proposed GST of 28% where as HPL, PVC Foam Boards, Sawn Timber, Face Veneers, and Aluminium Composite Panels will come under 18 % GST slab. Acting on the proposed tax rates various associations in the wood panel industry and trade across the country are trying their best to bring this bracket down and are actively meeting central and state government ministers, authorities and submitting them memorandum seeking the high tax rate 28% to bring down to nominal 12%. The industry representatives absorbed Plywood, Particle Boards and MDF in 28% category instead of 18% is

Mr. Ashok Kumar Juneja said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plywood Industry majorly uses Poplar and Safeda timber which is grown by the farmers in their fields and feed about 3200 Small 253 Scale Industry and MSME units which are dependent on these timbers in India. They are having small turnover and 80% of them are under 1.5 Crore bracket. Secondly sporting to the huge population of the country these SSI and MSMEs employ illiterate, unskilled labour to earn their livelihood. The high tax rate will hit them badly and many of the labour may loss their livelihood with due effect.â&#x20AC;?

Plywood & Laminate Vyapari Association of Indore submitted a memorandum to the honourable finance minister of India, Govt of India regarding discrepancies in GST slabs of chapter 44 and 28% GST on plywood and others. They request to have a look into the matter and asked for time for thoughtful discussion on various points before finalising and implementing 28% GST on plywood and other items of the chapter 44 of GST regime. In the memorandum they pointed out that Plywood and particle board are agro based product until unless forest wood is being used in manufacturing these products. In most of the plywood manufacturing states forest wood is not available. And this industry is based on farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown poplar and rubber timber, thus resulting in increased green cover in the state of Kerala, Haryana and Punjab. They request to discuss the above mentioned points in GST council and have a single tax slab of 12% for all items of chapter 44 to avoid tax evasion by dealer and possible

honest dealers. The memorandum has been undersigned by Narendra Bafna, Immediate Past President; Madhukar Shroff, President; Pankaj Maheshwari, Treasurer and Sumit Lathi, Secretary, Plywood & Laminate Vyapari Association of Indore. Gujarat Plywood & Veneer Manufacturers Association (GPMA) submitted a memorandum to Shri Santosh Kumar Gangwer, The Minister of State for Finance in Delhi requesting for rate reduction on plywood products under chapter 44 keeping these points into consideration that Plywood/Block Board and flush Doors are manufactured from agro wood plantation timber grown by farmers and directly source of additional income to them. Plywood industries help to increases farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income. In this way plywood industries should be considered as agro base industries. In the state of Gujarat 95% of plywood industries fall under small scale industries category and enjoying 1.5 corer exemptions limit of central excise. After introduction of GST this exemption limit will be abolished that would be a big blow to their existence. Plywood manufacturing unite generate many fold employment from harvesting timber to furniture production. Higher GST rate on this category will create negative effect on trade as well as employment. On June 1, 2017 North India Plywood and Panel Industries delegation such as Mr. N.K. Agarwal, Naresh Tiwari, Surendra Arora, Ashok Juneja, Mr. Inderjit Singh Sohal, Mr. Devender Chawla, Mr. Narinder Bansal, Mr. Bimal Chopra, Mr. Arun Mongia, Mr. Rajnish Arora, Mr. Ashwani Kaushik and Anil Garg met with State Minister for Finance, Govt of India, Mr. Arjun Ram Meghwal for reduction of GST on plywood and other wood panel products for hearing their matter with FM Mr. Jaitley www.plyreporter.com
and their concern will be put for review in GST council meeting on June3, 2017. The meeting was arranged with the support of Mr. Vijay Sampla, Union state Minister for Social Welfare and Justice. The association feels injustice to plywood industries in GST regime. In GST regime 28% rate is decided for luxurious commodity. The Association strongly believe that plywood products are not a luxury commodity but its use by common people for initial furniture usages saying that Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best research institute IPIRTI - Bengaluru also endorsed that plywood products are environmental friendly, cheap and sturdy products as compare to solid natural wood. It also saves valuable reserve forest. And they urged to reduce GST rates at 12% for survival of whole plywood Industries and trade.

Kamdhenu Plywood’s Gujarat dealers’ meet in Goa

K
amdhenu Plywood organized Saurashtra, Gujarat Dealers Meet in Goa from March 31, to April 3, 2017. For the meeting over 23 dealers reached Azure By Spree, Calangute resort, Goa from Ahmedabad. After a little rest and lunch the dealers enjoyed at Calangute Beach till evening and after dinner again visited the beach and had wonderful time at Tito’s Night Club where they danced till wee hours. The Next day sumptuous, breakfast was served at the Resort Azure, and they went for fun at the swimming pool. They again visited beaches and to try water sports. Many of them had pasailing experience deep inside the sea. At night, a formal company meeting was organized. In which Mr. Anuj Garg (Chief Executive, Plywood Division), informed the dealers regarding new products and the vision of the company. He emphasised on caliberated plywood with E0/E1 glue. Mr. Garg explained that Eo/E1 glue is majorly used because there is minimum emission of harmful formalin. Using regular plywood, one is unknowingly exposed to
very harmful formalin, and in fully closed air conditioned office/bedroom, formalin cannot escape, so this turns main source of air pollution. All developed countries, including US and Europe have strict laws to allow only plywood made using E1/E0 glue. Kamdhenu Plywood is offering this plywood to Indian consumers at very reasonable prices. Mr. Garg also highlighted new products like, Liner, PVC/ WPC Board etc. Dealers were very interested in these products and assured to double the sales in financial year 2017-18. A brief talk was followed by prize distribution for top three highest sellers. Special mementoes were also distributed to the dealers. At night distributor Mr. Ajay Patel arranged visit to Casino@ Deltin Jaqk, which is on board ship anchored in sea. This was the best part of the tour in Goa. The ship had three floors having casino, food and live music and dance and hard drinks on terrace. The dealers danced a lot on live music and participated with great enthusiasm.

A
merican Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) recently hosted two technical seminars for hardwood end users (furniture manufacturers) and importers, in cooperation with two of Rajasthan’s key industry associations. Educational seminars in Jodhpur and Jaipur throw the spotlight on the availability, environmental credentials and working properties of American hardwoods. AHEC is the leading international trade association for the U.S. hardwood industry, representing the committed exporters among U.S. hardwood companies and all the major U.S. hardwood production trade associations. The first seminar was held in Jodhpur on May 6 with the assistance of the Jodhpur Handicrafts Exporters Association (JHEA) and the second in Jaipur on May 8 with the assistance of the Federation of Rajasthan Handicrafts Exporters (FORHEX). With around 200 manufacturers in attendance across the two events, AHEC was able to give them an overview of the U.S. hardwood resource, legality, sustainability and the wide range of species, while Dana Spessert, NHLA Chief
www.plyreporter.com
Inspector, gave an introduction to hardwood lumber grading with a practical demonstration. The seminars revealed that the Indian market for American hardwoods is turning a corner. Indian furniture and handicraft manufacturers, primarily located in Jodhpur and Jaipur, two of the country’s major wood product manufacturing centers, are exploring the potential to work with different hardwoods, and this provides an opportunity for certain American hardwood species “The scale of furniture and handicraft manufacturing in Rajasthan is massive and at least three quarters of what is produced is destined for export markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. AHEC believes that American tulipwood, as well as American cherry, soft maple, hard maple and sap gum, could all work well in the products being produced in Rajasthan. However, it is crucial that the key industry players are made fully conversant with what is available from the United States and also the NHLA lumber grading rules,” said Roderick Wiles, AHEC Director for Africa, Middle East, South Asia and Oceania.

Indian visitors at LIGNA
LIGNA 2017; A RepoRt LIGNA 2017 drew to a close on 26 May, having delivered big in terms of innovations and global appeal, with a significant upswing in the number of exhibitors and visitors from abroad and new impetus for the wave of digitalization currently redefining the industry. After five action-packed days, the organizers could look back on a truly impressive event. “LIGNA 2017 will go down as a milestone in the digitalization of the wood industry,” said Dr. Andreas Gruchow, the Deutsche Messe Managing Board member in charge of LIGNA, at the end-of-show press conference in Hannover. LIGNA 2017 featured a new site layout and an array of display categories chosen to reflect the increasing technology convergence between the skilled trades and industry. “The new layout has proven to be a great success. Our customers have found it very easy to navigate”, said Wolfgang Pöschl, Chairman of the Woodworking Machinery division of Germany’s Mechanical Engineering Industry Association, VDMA. LIGNA’s new approach is contributing to stable growth throughout the industry. More than 1,500 exhibitors, including 900 from abroad, were on hand to showcase innovative plant, machinery, tools and solutions on some 129,000 square meters of net space. LIGNA 2017 attracted a total of 93,000 visitors, including some 42,000 attendees from outside Germany who had come to Hannover from more than 100 different countries. www.plyreporter.com
More than 80 percent of all attendees rated LIGNA’s new thematic layout as “good” or “very good”. The special highlighting of surface technology at the show also met with a very enthusiastic response, with one in three visitors expressing an interest in the topic. Market leaders used the flagship fair to introduce new software for integrating the complete range of plant components. In line with the mega-theme of Industry 4.0, visitors were especially interested in the trend towards visualizing process and work steps.

A further key trend at LIGNA consisted of ways of significantly boosting production efficiency with minimal demands on the operator. One exhibitor presented the first-ever â&#x20AC;&#x153;three-clickâ&#x20AC;? process for producing a complete item of furniture. Meanwhile, in the area of machine components and automation, robots continued their forward march. In the pavilion next to Hall 11, the first LIGNA training workshops for joiners, cabinetmakers, carpenters and mobile assemblers were held in partnership with the www.plyreporter.com

Sprint Academy (Cologne, Germany). Participants were given the opportunity to put the manually-operated woodworking machines through their paces, under the watchful eye of expert technicians. The new LIGNA layout was also well received by primary industry visitors, with the four thematic areas of Forestry Technology , Sawmill Technology , Wood-based Panel Production and Energy from Wood . The focus was on the production of wood as a raw material for products or energy generation, through the planning, felling and

retrieval stages. The current state of the art on the use in forestry of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), or drones, proved a popular drawing card, along with the latest forest surveying processes. Another standout attraction, particularly for the international primary industry audience, was the second Wood Industry Summit . Fifteen delegations from 13 nations (including Canada, Colombia, Chile, Bulgaria and Romania) availed themselves of the opportunity for dialogue with industry experts. Under the motto of “Access to Resources and Technology”, summit participants debated the latest trends and developments in the categories of “Forestry and Wood Industry 4.0”, “Resource Roads”, “Forest Fire Control” and “Fleet Management”.

Mr. Hitesh of HR Industry expressed satisfaction with the response of global visitors and received many queries. More 100 visitors from Indian wood working machinery, furniture and wood panel & plywood sector attended the show. www.plyreporter.com
