Debut exhibitor Yixing Lion-King Timber Industry Co Ltd reported a good response to its stand during the show.

The Chinese flooring and plywood manufacturer, exhibiting just outside the Timber Zone, displayed the range of colours and finishes available from its two manufacturing facilities.

It has the capacity to produce 120,000m² of flooring and 6,000m³ of plywood per month, with the US and European countries, including Germany and Sweden, its main export markets. However, the com-pany told TTJ the UK was a market it was interested in developing.

Yixing manufactures its products from sapele, red oak, beech, walnut, birch, okoumé and bintangor, as well as producing film-faced plywood, melamine-faced and raw MDF, block board and commercial plywood.

Its flooring division produces solid wood flooring, multi-layer engineered flooring, laminate flooring and bamboo flooring.
