Exchange and development of innovative products from Indonesian light wood
IPD brings together light wood producers, importers and processing companies.

On March 16.03.2021, IPD is organizing a roundtable where Indonesian producers of light wood products as well as importers and processing companies can exchange their experiences and ideas.
The objective is to jointly define requirements for specific applications and develop product solutions in areas where weight plays a role, such as caravan manufacturing, moveable furniture, exhibition stand construction, etc.

This is because lightweight wood from Indonesia outperforms other types of wood not only because of its weight. Indonesian lightweight wood products from Albasia and Jabon can also easily keep up with the classics such as MDF, particleboard or poplar plywood in terms of gross density, screw pull-out resistance and bending strength.
Detailed information on the outstanding properties of lightweight wood is available here.

Benefit from the roundtable to exchange experiences and contribute your expertise to the development of new lightweight wood products.

We look forward to your participation.

Discover the quality of Indonesian light wood products!
Establish contacts with reliable wood suppliers!

Many of the international trade fairs, which are important contact exchanges, have been postponed or cancelled. The search for new products and new suppliers is more difficult. IPD supports wood importers in this time with the virtual B2B event "Light Wood from Indonesia".

From 17 March - 26 March, 2021 interested purchasers have the opportunity to get to know reliable Indonesian producers inindividual online meetings.

Lightweight wood from Indonesia surpasses other types of wood not only because of its weight. Tests conducted by EPH Dresden have confirmed this: In terms of gross density, screw pull-out resistance and bending strength, Indonesian light woods of the Albasia and Jabon varieties can definitely keep up with the classics such as MDF, chipboard or poplar plywood. They thus offer an equivalent alternative to conventional wood-based materials.They are interesting for applications in areas where weight plays a role, such as caravan fabrications, moveable furniture, exhibition stand construction, etc.
Detailed information about the outstanding properties of lightweight wood you can find here.

All producers were selected and evaluated by the IPD. Criteria such as quality of the products, exportability and capacity as well as access to and use of legal wood from sustainable sources were taken into account. Some of the products have CE marking.

Use the IPD virtual B2B event for individual discussions and expand your supplier network.
Detailed information on our companies will be available here from mid-February.
