China is a major producer of wooden flooring for Japan

Martes, 20 de Octubre de 2009 12:00

20.10.09. China is now a major producer of high quality wooden flooring and is attracting Japanese buyers. Wood flooring is manufactured in Dalien, Shanghai, Guanzhou and Kunming. Hardwood timbers such as oak and ash from Russia are processed in Dalien while in Shanghai and Guanzhou there is more emphasis on tropical hardwood flooring, ITTO reported.

Japanese buyers first dealt with producers in Dalien for the oak and ash flooring but eventually shifted purchases to the Shanghai and Guanzhou area where the quality was reportedly better. However, because of rising prices of flooring from Shanghai and Guanzhou manufacturers who are facing rising production costs, Japanese buyers have reverted to buying from producers in the Dalien area. The trend is now to purchase composite flooring with hardwood overlays as the demand in Japan is for inexpensive flooring.
