This is a continuous take of our hardwood plywood mfg. plant. Hardwood plywood consists of 2 sheets of decorative veneer, pressed onto a particleboard or MDF core. It is distinctly different than softwood plywood, which is what most people think of when they hear "plywood".
Our customers are primarily architectural, furniture and store fixture manufactures, and the odds are good that you've seen our plywood in a department store, hotel or piece of furniture (especially if you live in North America).
My oldest brother, Jeff, started the company when he was 16, and when I joined in 1994, there were only 6 of us working there (including my other brother, Chad, aka, "Sawdust Cannon Chad").
Of special note is our feed-through ring press (@3:00) which, if you were to put a bathroom scale in it, is capable of 1.2 MIIILLLLIIIOOONN lbs. of pressure (544,000kg).
Also, we've recently added 2 robots (@4:15) to automate our cutting, labeling and sanding processes. These were a total out-of-the-box solution, conceived by Chad (aka, "Grease Monkey Phenom"), and no one in our industry is doing anything similar to this. We have more robots that we'll be installing soon, to assist with moving veneer sheets, handling inventory... and to facilitate with the eventual Plywood Robotic Uprising of 2029!
