Perumbavoor is India's plywood belt
Most Indian plywood buyers know the name. Perumbavoor, on the eastern edge of the Kochi metropolitan area, carries one of the densest concentrations of plywood and veneer production in the country — peeling units, core yards, resin suppliers, timber markets and seasoned operators within a few kilometres of each other. When a panel needs a specific core build or an odd size, the belt can produce it without long waits.
That ecosystem is our home ground. Our group has manufactured plywood here since 1986 — four decades of buying veneer, grading cores and loading trucks in the same market. Cochin Wood Industries puts that experience behind every order: the same panel, the same grade, the same dimensions, shipment after shipment.
What we manufacture
The range covers industrial and construction use. Full specifications are on the products page; the packing range, our core volume line, has its own page at packing plywood.
| Product | Build | Typical buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Packing-grade plywood | MR bond, IS 303; 6, 8, 12, 15 and 18 mm typical | Packing-case and crate makers, engineering exporters |
| Commercial / BWR plywood | MR and BWR bonds | Furniture and interior contractors |
| Okoume-face plywood | Okoume face veneer on MR-packing or BWR base; calibrated E1 panels on eucalyptus core (16 mm at about 32 kg) | Export buyers, furniture manufacturers |
| Film-faced shuttering plywood | Densified faces for repeated concrete pours | Formwork and infrastructure contractors |
| Marine plywood | IS 710, BWP bond | Boat work, wet-area joinery |
| Plywood boxes, crates and pallets | Built to case size; ISPM-15-compliant process — plywood panels themselves are ISPM-15 exempt | Machinery and project-cargo exporters |
| Sawn timber | Rubberwood and jackwood runners | Packing-case makers |
Kerala timber, Kerala cores
The belt exists because the raw material does. Kerala's rubber plantations replant on a fixed cycle, which puts a steady stream of rubberwood into the Perumbavoor timber market, and eucalyptus is peeled for core veneer close by. Buying core timber at source, rather than freighting it across the country, is what lets a Kerala plywood manufacturer hold consistent core quality at packing-grade cost. The species we work with, and where each fits, are documented at woods we use.
Pan-India dispatch, and a port 40 km away
For Indian buyers we dispatch from Kochi to any state. Material is priced ex-factory with GST and transport extra, and we plan truckloads against your unloading point. If you are comparing suppliers across the country, our plywood manufacturer India page sets out how Kerala production compares on the points buyers actually check.
For export buyers the geography does real work. Perumbavoor sits about 40 km from Cochin Port and the Vallarpadam terminal, so containers are stuffed at the factory and gated in the same day. We ship to the GCC — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain — and Kochi to Colombo is one of the shortest export lanes out of India, typically 2–4 days on the water. Export quotes are in USD, FOB Cochin as default. Lane details are on the export hub.
