By 121 News

Chandigarh 16^th July:- Forestry Innovation Consulting India Pvt. Ltd. (FII India) is a non-profit market development agency funded by the Ministry of British Columbia to promote Canadian solid wood lumber in India. In order to demonstrate the versatility of Canadian Wood species –Western Hemlock, Yellow-Cedar, Douglas-fir, SPF and Western Red Cedar - FII India hosted a seminar and networking meet in Chandigarh. The event saw a gathering of select audience of contractors, carpenters and other woodworking professionals from the Punjab region. 

The event proved to be an excellent platform for knowledge sharing and to experience first-hand the qualities of Canadian Wood.

 Pranesh Chhibber, Country Director, FII India said that india loves wood. It has for centuries and will continue to do so. In fact, the demand for solid wood has grown exponentially leading India to import more that 7.5 million cubic meters a year to meet the demand. This is where Canadian Wood can plug a gap in the Indian market. With certified wood, standard grades & sizes, assured quality and proper manufacturing practices in Canada, the lumber from B.C. is one of the best in the world.

Recounting his learnings from the seminar, Paramjeet Singh from Mohali, a large scale contractor, said that he personally found the workshop very useful where he gained vast knowledge about the Canadian Wood and its uses. The one thing that particularly impressed him and caught his attention was to know how well suited the wood is to Indian climate and working conditions. Some examples of work showcased by Indian manufacturers also made us aware of the benefits of using Canadian Wood.
