What does Vicwood Group do?

We engineer wood. Timber of low decorative, mechanical or economic value is transformed in our mills into products that serve as aesthetic and structural enhancements for the interior furnishing and construction industries. Technological advancements make it possible for us to overcome the inherent blemishes or short-comings in natural wood, while incorporating new and better functions. By means of engineering, the scope of services provided by timber has been vastly expanded. Thermal resistance, water repellence, acoustic insulation, moisture proofing, load bearing, impact resistance, insect and fungus proofing, decay resistance and new developments, etc. are of major interest to our R&D team. We are a company in search of continuous development through innovation.

With 48 years of experience in the wood-processing industry, we are confident that you will find our products and services to be of the very highest quality.

Now we're here, where do we go?

Vicwood Group is so versatile in its products - from raw logs to finished goods - and in its worldwide distribution - including Africa, the Middle East, North America, Europe, Asia, Central America, South America and of course China - that you need a guide to take you to the products and services you are looking for.
