INDUSTRY PROFILE

13. 8
Trees are nature‟s greatest bounty to man. They provide shelter, fuel, medicines
and tools for war or commerce or transport. It was a timber from trees, which in the early
days helped man to conquer the oceans and to fly in the air.
Nature develops trees as a mother brings up children,
making each one a separate individual. It is an amazing sight to see the natural abstract
rhythm of line, colour and texture in wood. Nothing from nature indoors gives such a
long lasting enjoyment as the natural beauty of wood. Flowers fade, but the beauty of
decorative wood is enhanced by age.
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF PLYWOOD INDUSTRY
In India the modern sector of small, large scale
manufacturer have played a significant role in the socio-economic development of the
country. Our county is blessed with immense stock of natural resources both above and
beneath the soil surface. Forest is one of the important natural assets of India.
Of the various areas of wood processing
plywood manufacture is an important sector wing to its employment potential and value
addition. In India plywood as a product was commercially developed first in Assam and
its neighboring area by enterprising industrialist.
Nearly a century ago during those days when
the India tea was introduce to Europe, many complaints such as tanning of the tea,
change of odor, lack of resistance of boxes to withstand transport, landings were
received. To overcome these complaints Indian association set up a committee to go up
into the details of tea packing and it was found that tea chest made from plywood could
be used for packing tea.

14. 9
The art of veneering was in existence as early as
1500 BC in Egypt. Veneering is a thin layer of sheet of wood uniform in thickness.
Veneer is used in Greek during early period to beautify the furniture. The Roman also
used veneer during the time of 63 BC. During the reign of LUOIX XV in 1760 good
decorative furniture was made in France using veneer. The plywood which are seen in the
present form was developed after 1860 this veneer machine was first upgraded by French
mechanic in 1812. The factory for manufacturing of veneer was first established in
Germany in the middle of 19th century. Nowadays a rapid development is taking place in
this field.
At present wood products are used for
manufacture of modern kind of furniture, Building material, material for interior
decoration, ship building, automobile manufacturing, and refrigerator and meant for
many other purpose.
PLYWOOD INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The Indian plywood industry owes its origin
to the development of tea industry in the state of Assam, West Bengal, Kerala and the
difficulty created by the two World wars in the way of imports of tea chest plywood.
Except for the setbacks suffered in the post war period, the plywood sector was booming
since 1947.
In 1947 India was a net importer of
plywood, mainly tea chest plywood of approximately Rs.2 crore per annum. During 1992
India manufactured 150 million sq. meters of plywood types that earned approximately
Rs.1000 crore. The industry has grown both in medium, large scale

15. 10
and small-scale sector. The plywood industry consumes about 15 million m3 timbers of
primary and secondary species. In fact the plywood industry has provided main outlet for
the maximum utilization of secondary species of timber there by making available
contribution in the forest economy. Later, the plywood industry aided for the
development of farm forestry sector plantation, which benefits the ordinary farmers in the
country.
The other main raw material required by
the plywood industry is synthetic resin, which is available within the country. The
materials required for manufacturing resins are Urea, Phenol and Formaldehyde. This
industry also pays excise duty to the extent as Rs.50 crore; provides employment to about
30000 people and has total investment as Rs.400 to 500crores.
India was rich in its forest wealth having a
huge land area under forests. Practically, all varieties of forest growth are found in India,
ranging from tropical hardwood forests to high altitude coniferous forests and from
deciduous to evergreen forests and Plantation but unfortunately the forest resources in
India is depleting due to increase of population and other causes. Sound principles of
forest policy, administration, timber production and conservation were introduced by an
act of legislature in 1845, and ever since Indian forests are being managed on scientific
and progressive lines. Large areas have abundance of some of the finest plywood timbers
both for constructional and decorative plywood, Indian teak, Indian Rosewood and
Padauk are world-renowned for their beauty of figure, grain and texture. Gurjan,
Vellapine, Hollock and Hollong are only a few of the many Indian timbers used for
making good commercial plywoods. Such continuous depletion of the natural forest
resources of the country due to various consumption of solid wood, it was felt to conserve
the natural resource forest by reconstituted wood products such as Plywood, Hardboard,
Particleboard and Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) to meet the rising demand of
Wood from the general consumer, Railways, Defence, Furniture, Laminate manufacturers

16. 11
and the builders. At the same time also it is trying to meet the wood demand by Bamboo,
a product which is like to wood.
Instead of depending entirely on natural
regeneration of forest resources the Government of India, NGO and some of our
members have taken positive steps for Tree plantation on large areas in the various states
with fast growing species so that can conserve the natural forest and meet the demand for
wood and wood products of various domestic and international consumers.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
Competition is keen in the furniture
industry. Furniture manufacturers and exporters are suffering from decreasing profit
margins. Many companies strive to reduce their cost of production and increase
efficiency. Some relocate their manufacturing operations to other areas with lower
operation cost, such as the Chinese mainland. On the other hand, foreign manufacturers
are taking steps to strengthen their domestic production through product specialization.
To stay globally competitive, Hong Kong
furniture manufacturers strive to reduce costs, initiate quality control, improve design
concepts and capability, and upgrade management skills and increase marketing and sales
effectiveness. Many manufacturers have obtained or are applying for ISO 9000/9002
certification.
Hong Kong's furniture makers also started
to develop their own brands. Furniture manufacturers also become more careful about the
choice of raw materials to meet international standards, such as compliance with legal or
other environmental requirements in their target markets. China is the largest furniture
exporter to many countries, including the US and Japan. The total furniture exports of
China exceeded US$6,683 million in 2002, with the US being its largest market.

17. 12
Guangdong province is the major manufacturing centre of furniture on the Chinese
mainland. Apart from Hong Kong, manufacturers from Taiwan and even the US have
also set up plants on the mainland. In China, most of the production is on an OEM basis.
China also offers a huge potential market for furniture maker.
WOOD BASED PANEL INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Wood Panel products effect considerable saving of scarce wood as
compared to Solid Timber. The basic types of Wood based panels are:-
Plywood
Particleboard
Hardboard
Medium Density Fibre board
Because of their versatility in application and efficiency in wood raw
material utilization the wood panel products have to a great extent replaced solid wood in
both structural and non-structural uses.
The history of plywood industry in India is old. It is more than 75 years that this
industry was started here on a very modest scale. It was in the year 1906-07 that plywood
was imported in India for the first time-valued at Rs.32 lacs. Import rose steadily and by
1924-25 it was worth Rs.90 lacs. Tea Industry in Assam, West Bengal and Kerala was
steadily developing and it was thought that plywood industry in the form of Tea Chests
production mainly for export should be developed. Accordingly two plywood factories
were started in Assam in 1923-24 but their development was steady and slow and not
phenomenal. These were the pioneers and the resourcefulness and courage shown by
them in the early stages of growth of Plywood Industry was remarkable and the industry
owes gratitude to these courageous entrepreneurs.

18. 13
With the outbreak of Second World War, necessity of
manufacturing tea chests locally was very much felt and Plywood Industry in form of Tea
Chests Industry started on a large scale. It will not be exaggerated that Plywood Industry
in India is a gift of Second World War. Now that tea chests must be produced, Forest
Departments in different States started thinking in terms of finding suitable timber for
manufacturing tea chests. Experiments were made at Forest Research Institute, Dehra
Dun and it was found that plywood made from Indian timbers were as good as imported
products and therefore advised forest entrepreneurs to set up modern factories in different
States.
Accordingly well equipped factories were started in different places viz. Sitapur,
Bangalore, Baliapatam, Dandeli and Coochbehar. Some of these factories suffered
setbacks in the post war years, as after cessation of war the vested interests tried to
sabotage this industry by trying to restart imports of tea chest. Tariff Board enquiry was
held and the Government imposed a lien on the importers to purchase Indian products
equivalent to the quantity allowed to be imported. Slowly and slowly, the Government
imposed total ban on imports and this thoughtful action of the Government encouraged
the Indian entrepreneurs to modernize their plants and invest substantial capital in this
industry.
After 1947-48, the industry resorted to diversification of its products and block
boards, flush doors, commercial plywood, decorative plywood, marine and aircraft ply
woods, produced in Indian factories came into the market which were second to none in
the world in quality and diversity of its products.
Industrial Licensing is governed by the Industries (Developmental and
Regulation) Act, 1951 under which the wood based industry was covered.
There was no restriction of putting up plywood Mill upto 1970. The only criteria
was that the applicant was required to obtain an Industrial License which was being
considered by Ministry of Industry after consulting various Ministries including Ministry
of Environment & Forests. Forest Ministry was being consulted for ascertaining

19. 14
sustainable raw material of Timber for a particular project; the Wood based Industry was
more or less in Medium and Large scale. The Wood based Industry was under
Compulsory Industrial Licensing from 1988 whether a small scale unit or a
Large/Medium unit, new undertaking or substantial expansion would require Industrial
License.
During 1970 there was clear cut definition of Small Scale Sector and units having
an investment of less than 7.5 lakhs in Plant and Equipment were covered under the
definition of Small Scale Sector which would be registered with the respective State
Director of Industries. At that particular stage some of the units with such investment got
themselves transferred to small scale sectors.
Meanwhile there were modern technology and machinery equipped plywood units
coming up in different places in India like North Eastern Zone. In 1997 the Government
of India totally delicensed wood based industry as a result more than 2000 small-scale
units coming up.
The potentialities of the industry can be judged from the many uses to which
plywood can be put. Apart from tea chests plywood marine and aircraft plywood there
are specific demand for the following articles from the consumers:-
1. Shuttering Plywood
2. Packaging Plywood
3. Plywood drums
4. Flush doors
5. Commercial & Decorative Plywood
6. Block Boards
7. Moulded Plywood furnitures and chair seats
8. Laminated picking sticks for cotton and jute textile industry
9. Sliced decorative veneers of walnut, teak, rosewood etc.
10. Compregnated wood veneers required for heavy chemical industry and electrified
railways.

20. 15
INFERENCE:
Indian plywood industry is as big as Rs 5,000 crore and the laminate industry is
almost Rs 3,000 crore. The industry is growing at a rapid pace of 10-20 per cent per
annum. Approximately 600 units are currently functioning all over the country. There is
tremendous growth potential as the players are yet to penetrate majority of the market.
In India the modern sector of small, large scale manufacturer have played a significant
role in the socio-economic development of the country. Because of the versatility in
application and efficiency in wood raw material utilization the wood panel products have
to a great extent replaced solid wood in both structural and non-structural uses. The
history of plywood industry in India is old. It is more than 75 years that this industry was

Woods are cut into required size before it is taken for processing.
This is called cross cutting. It is done by using a chain saw, which
works on a hydraulic system. The required size may usually vary
from three to ten feet.
3) Boiling:
The pieced woods are boiled in order to make the hard woods soft
and to remove its oil content. It is done for the purpose of peeling
or slicing the wood into small. It is boiled about 24 hours at 80
degree to 160 degree. The steam required is produced in the boiler.
4) Peeling:
After boiling, wood pieces are peeled with the help of peeling
machine. Output is called veneer. There are two kinds of veneer,
ie. FACE and CORE. Thickness of veneer ranges from .4mm to
2.8mm. Sometime a slicing machine is used instead of peeler. This
is mainly used in decorative section.
5) Clipping:
Veneer produced from the peeler is then passed through the
clipper. Here, veneer of the required length is cut. Cutting action
takes place by the compressed air.
6) Drying:
In order to remove the excess moisture content from veneer they
are passed to the dry yard. The drying time required depends on
the type of wood, thickness of veneer, steam available etc. In the

36. 31
dry yard section there are fans rotating at high speed which make
the forced convection of heat from tubes carrying the steam.
7) Edging and joining:
The edges of veneers of various lengths are cut and removed. The
gum is then applied to the edges of the veneer and these are joined
together in a joining machine. The veneer is then again cut into the
required length.
8) Gluing:
In this section glue is applied all over the core of veneer. The glue
spreading machine consists of two rollers rotating in opposite
direction between which the glue is kept. The glues used are U.F,
Aerolyte and M.F.
9) Assembling:
Here, the core veneers are placed in between the face veneers. The
adjacent veneers are placed in such a way that the grins are across
each other. The composition of face and core are as follows:
5ply with 9.6mm thickness
1.2* 2 face = 2.4mm
2.2* 2 core = 4.4mm
2.8* 1 back core = 2.8mm
10) Free press:
Here, the assembled boards are put into the machine and pressed in
order to make the glued veneer to stick to each other.

37. 32
11) Hot press:
The attached board is steamed. When steamed, the glue between
the veneers is melt. This will help to stick the veneer more close to
each other.
12) Conditioning:
Once the board is made it is then put into water, which contains
some sort of chemicals in order to identify the spots or damages on
the board.
13) Trimming:
Trimming is the process of shaping the board by cutting its
unwanted parts.
14) Sanding:
Sanding is done to smooth the trimmed surface of the plywood. It
can be done by using a belt sander or a drum sander.
15) Finishing:
In finishing process, the cracks, splits and other defects on the
surface of the plywood is filled with the same face of veneer
species. Here, the plywood is labeled and sealed.
16) Grading:
Grading is done according to quality of panel wood species used,
preservatives, chemical properties etc. Ply woods are expensive in
market and they are classified into A, B, C and D categories. Ply
wood with A grade is expensive and best among other grades. It
have smooth surface with no knots at all.

38. 33
17) Inspection and testing:
Ply woods are inspected and tested to make sure that it is of
predetermined quality.
MEDIUM DENSITY FIBREBOARDS
Manufacturing process MDF :
1. CHIPPING OF WOOD
Logs of eucalyptus, casuarina and acacia firewood are stripped of their bark. A
drum chipper reduces the logs into even shaped chips of about 25x25 mm, which are
stored in a silo.
To refine them for processing, quantities of chips are placed on a vibrating screen to
remove bits of bark, dirt, dust etc. If required, they are soaked in water to increase
moisture content and improve the quality of fibre.
2. DEFIBRATING, GLUEING AND DRYING
The chips are „digested‟ in a defibrator for about 4 minutes under pressure
(about 8 bar) in saturated steam. Fed into the defibering discs, they are injected
with urea formaldehyde resin and other additives through a blow line system into
the fibre coming out from the defibrator.
Before defibration, the chips are coated with molten paraffin wax. The glued
fibres are simultaneously dried and pneumatically transported by hot air through a
dryer ducting system to a cyclone separator, which takes out any defective fibres,
and finally, to a scale where they are weighed.
reen to a dust silo pneumatically.

39. 34
3. MAT FORMING AND PROCESSING
The dry fibres are conveyed to the mat forming system. Here they drop down to a
mat former belt, where distribution arms spread the falling fibres into a uniformly even
mat.
The thickness of this „scalped‟ mat will depend upon the thickness of board to be
produced. It is run through a series of heavy rollers in a pre-press to compress the mat to
about 1/3 thickness. The pre-pressed mat is then passed through a metal detector.
Thereafter, edge-trimming saws trim the edges, while cross-cut saws size the mat to the
required lengths of board. The fibres not formed into mats are sucked out by vacuum
boxes and recycled.
4. COOLING, SANDING & TRIMMING
The boards are weighed on a weighing platform, cooled to room temperature in
a star cooler, and then stacked on a platform.
Each stack of boards is taken by forklift truck to a roller conveyor, and transferred
one by one to a wide-belt sanding machine to be surface-finished. They are then
trimmed with the help of saws to the required sizes.
The mat passes through a series of conveyors to a mat stacker, from where it is fed
into the hot press. The hot press allows up to 10 mats to be pressed at a time to the
specified thicknesses. Powerful hydraulic pressure and high temperature (produced
by steam) make for strong and homogeneous bonding of the fibre mats.
The resulting boards are unloaded on to a conveyor to be fed out, and heat is
dissipated by axial exhaust fans. Mats unsuitable for pressing are tippled to a silo
for either recycling or transferring to a waste fibre bin through a blower.
5. GRADING & STORAGE

40. 35
The trimmed boards are inspected while on the roller conveyors, stacked by grade, and
sent for either storage or lamination. The finished non-laminated boards are later
despatched to various destinations by truck.
6. IMPREGNATION
Base paper for lamination is unwound from a paper roll, passed through a tray
filled with a special resin, and then through dryer chambers. The air in the dryer
chambers is heated up to 150°C by thermic fluid circulated through coils heated to 250°C
from a thermic fluid heater. The paper is then cut to the required size and stacked on a
scissor lift. The stacks of impregnated paper are then shifted to storage racks in an air-
conditioned store.

CHAPTER 6
PORTER’S ANALYSIS

92. 87
PORTERS ANALYSIS
Porters fives forces model is an excellent model to use to analyze a particular
environment of an industry.
1) Threat of new entrants.
2) Bargaining power of suppliers
3) Bargaining power of buyers
4) Threats of substitutes
5) Competitive rivalry
The above five main factors are key factors that influence industry performance,
hence it is common sense and practical to find out about these factors.

93. 88
Threat of new entrants
The company has attained economies of scale as its per unit of product is Rs 23. The GIL
has been established in 1985 and hence gained much experience in business.
The company has the capacity to retaliate when a new firm enters into the industry GIL is
the price leaders in Laminates marketing and enjoys almost monopoly in Laminates
marketing.
The capital requirement in the initial stage is high for the organization, because the plant
and machinery is expensive. So it doesn‟t have any great threat from the new entrants.
The company has good distribution system than that of competitors. They market their
products through agents and depots all over the country. Hence the distribution is under
their control.
Raw materials are easily available from the local area itself. The availability of certain
species that are imported from foreign countries is ensured by timely purchase. So the
company has access over the raw materials as it is an experienced company. So threat is
comparatively less.
The customers are loyal towards the products of the company. The brand image of
Greenply also helps in attracting a lot of customers.
The switching cost for the customers is high. As they are quality sensitive, and loyal to
the products of the company they will not go for other products.
So, the threat of new entry to GIL.is less.

94. 89
Bargaining power of suppliers
In GIL , the supplier concentration is fragmented in local areas and also in foreign
countries like Burma, Malaysia and Africa. Since the suppliers are fragmented, the
bargaining power of suppliers is less.
The company has transportation cost, inspection cost, quality checking cost etc. The
switching cost of company from one supplier to another is less. So the bargaining power
of supplier is also less.
There is no chance for supply forward integration because the company has been
purchasing from the same suppliers for a long period of time.
Thus, the bargaining power of supplier is moderate in case of GIL.
Bargaining power of buyer
The buyers are fragmented all over the countries, so no buyer has influence on product or
price.
The products are customerised products. So threat is low for the company
The customers of the company are quality sensitive, so the bargaining power of company
is high.
The customers are aware about the production cost of the products as it is a customerised
product.
Hence, the bargaining power of the buyer is comparatively high.

95. 90
Threat of substitutes
The company has substitutes like RUBWOOD and plastics. But these products lack
viability. who are quality sensitive prefer plywood of superior quality. So the substitutes
will not be a threat for the company.
The switching cost for the customers is not much low. So there is threat from substitutes.
But because of the brand loyalty of the customers and the superior quality of the products
provided, the company can easily overcome it.
Hence, the threat of substitutes is less.
Competitive rivalry
The company did not have many players of same size and of similar strategies. So the
market growth is high and thus the degree of competitive rivalry will be less.
The company has differentiated products .The GIL has a unique product range that
cannot be duplicated. So the competitive rivalry is comparatively less.
The industry has high exit barrier and hence no threat.
Thus, threat from competition is less for GIL.
