Prior to 2005, Chinese suppliers produced a lot of Meranti (Lauan) plywood . Today, Meranti (Lauan) are not the usual face/back veneers in China Wood Market . Though a lot of importers are still making inquiries for Meranti (Lauan) plywood at present . Unfortunately, Meranti (Lauan) face/back veneers for plywood are not available in China Wood Industry now .
In China, factories start to use Red Canarium, which is a good substitute for Meranti (Lauan), as the face/back veneers for plywood . Red Canarium has grains as good-looking as Meranti (Lauan) .
Now Red Canarium plywood is the mostly exported plywood from China .
