In the wood product hall of WoodBuild, two of China’s largest brands for panel boards and flooring will head the Chinese displays and make their presence felt not just as sellers at WoodBuild, but also as buyers from WoodMac China machinery exhibition. Dare Global and PTP Group are two of the country’s biggest buyers of panel board making machinery. “As a major industry player, it is important for us to participate in WoodBuild China as part of our marketing plan. We have supported the event for four consecutive years and have found the exhibition a great platform for making new contacts and developing new business deals. At the same time, we are interested to source for new equipment and technology at WoodMac to add on to our existing facilities,” shared Mr Zhou Li, Manager – MDF Products, PTP Group. Dare Global will also be showcasing their range of panel, 3-ply wooden floors and laminated floors. Also featuring flooring products at WoodBuild China will be a group of companies from Peru.
