Welcome to Zhoubao Classroom, where we'll share interesting and practical knowledge about wood panels. Today is the first lecture, and we'll discuss the history of wood panels. Come learn with Zhoubao!

In fact, the origin of the board can be traced back to 3000 BC...

Early 1st century BC

The Romans were already familiar with the manufacturing techniques of veneer and plywood

1812

The French invented the veneer saw

After 1844

The improved peeling machine was officially used in industrial production. Since then, the peeling machine has been continuously improved, which has promoted the development of the plywood industry.

mid-19th century

Germany established the first plywood factory

1898

The UK first produced semi-hard fiberboard on a rotary paper machine

1914

The United States uses groundwood pulp waste to produce insulation boards and builds an insulation fiberboard factory

1916

The dry forming process first appeared in Austria

1924

The United States invented the Massonnet fiber separation technology (explosion method), and in 1928 it was able to produce high-quality hardboard.

1931

The Asplund process was invented in Sweden, and the first hardboard factory using this process was established in Sweden the following year. From then on, the fiberboard manufacturing industry separated from the papermaking industry and became an independent industry.

1943

The United States has successfully studied dry and semi-dry manufacturing processes

1966

First medium-density fiberboard plant built in the United States

The emergence of Chinese wood-based panels

Before 1949

Only cement wood wool board

1952

Started production of protein glue particleboard

1956

Resin glue particle board

1958

Started trial production of fiberboard

early 1960s

Established wet fiberboard plants in Beijing and Shanghai

early 1970s

Completed dry process and soft fiberboard production lines

1980

Started production of medium density fiberboard

Since the reform and opening up, my country's national economy has experienced rapid, stable, and sustained growth. The rapid development of the domestic home furnishing, decoration, and real estate industries has fueled the rapid growth of my country's panel industry. Against this backdrop, Qiannianzhou, adhering to its core values ​​of "Brand, Environmental Protection, and Quality," and focusing on "Co-creation, Co-win, and Sharing," is committed to fulfilling its corporate mission of "Creating Healthy Homes and Leading Quality Life," and is continuously moving toward its vision of "becoming a century-old enterprise in China's building materials and home furnishing industry."
