Sino-Forest is creating synergy between
its Wood Fibre Operations and
Manufacturing & Other Operations by
locking in access to plantation trees
through acquisition and by creating
regional wood baskets in inland
provinces, and in the process maximixe
the usage and value of wood fibre
harvested. Therefore, modernization and
improved productivity of the wood
processing industry in China is
necessary given the country’s chronic
wood fibre deficit. Our
Manufacturing and Other Operations
include:
·
engineered-wood flooring
produced in Jiangsu Province and
distributed through more than 300
outlets nationwide in the PRC;
·
sawn timber produced in
Yunnan Province and Heilongjiang
Province;
·
finger-joint board and
blockboard produced in Hunan Province;
·
plywood and veneer
products produced in Guangxi Province;
and
·
greenery and nursery
operations based in Jiangsu Province.
HOMIX Ltd
Sino-Forest is
committed to research & development with
an aim to improve and maximize the use
of our wood fibre. In January 2010, we
made a small but strategically important
acquisition with valuable intellectual
property rights, including recomposed
technology to convert small-diameter
plantation logs into building materials
and furniture. And two engineered-wood
processing facilities located in
Guangdong and Jiangsu Provinces.
Engineered Wood Flooring in Suzhou,
Jiangsu Province
As China’s GDP and average household
earnings continue to grow, allowing more
middle- and high-income consumers to
furnish apartments, Sino-Forest is well
positioned to capture potentially huge
domestic demand for flooring products.
Our flooring plant based in Suzhou
Jiangsu Province has a production
capacity of 6 million m2. Our
high-density, quality, engineered wood
flooring products are distributed
through over 300 retail outlets in the
PRC.
Greenery and Nurseries in Suzhou,
Greater Shanghai
According to China’s State Forestry Administration, there is a lack of forestation in the country, and six major cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have been identified among the ten most polluted in the world. In order to counteract these problems, the PRC government has called for the improvement of air quality and city landscaping through the planting of trees in green belts along city borders, along roads and streets, and in parks. Seeing the need to improve the gap between landscape management and supply of tree nursery products, Sino-Forest decided to pursue opportunities in this forest product business segment. With
our plantation resources and expertise, we established Sinowin Plantings (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. to
source, supply and manage landscaping
products for property developers and other organizations.
