Birch plywood from Latvia for trade & export
Sanded and film-faced 100% birch, phenolic bonded, PEFC, CE and CARB certified. Made to order and supplied by the half truck across Europe or by the container worldwide. Indicative prices per sheet, EXW Latvia.
Why Stiga birch
Not a mixed-core import: every ply is Latvian birch, phenolic bonded.
100% birch, every ply
No softwood or poplar core. 1.5 mm veneers, about 680 kg/m³, the stiffness and screw-holding only full birch gives.
Phenolic bonding
WBP glue, formaldehyde class E1. Sanded grades to EN 636-2S (humid conditions); film-faced sheets to EN 636-3S (exterior).
Certified for export
PEFC (FSC Mix on request), CE per EN 13986, UKCA, CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI, IKEA IOS-MAT-0181, Japanese F4, EPD, REACH.
Made to order
The mill holds no stock. Production takes up to 3 weeks depending on season, then transit. Capacity about 60,000 m³ a year, so repeat volumes are not a problem.
Europe by truck
Loaded in Latvia, 2 to 4 days by road to Germany, Poland, the Benelux and Scandinavia.
Worldwide by container
20 ft and 40 ft loads from Riga to any port. CARB, TSCA and F4 approvals cover North America and Japan; UKCA covers the UK.
