Apart from timber, MTC is also exploring biomass products due to the abundant supply of the raw material.
“We have a product called the Polypalm which is flooring made of oil palm wood. There is great potential for growth as it is estimated that 13.6 million logs are available annually based on a replanting cycle of 100,000 hectares per year.
“If all the logs are converted into flooring, we would get 680,000 cubic metres of flooring every year,” he said, adding that strong demand for Polypalm was coming from the US. Overseas demand for oil palm wood furniture was also on the rise, said Cheah, due to its exotic grain and formaldehyde-free feature.
