The Company is not only oriented as a high-end industrial wood panel brand but also as a green visioner who is committed to sustainable development in all operations. Acknowledging the limitations of natural wood supply sources as well as the environmental impacts of industrial production processes, the Company has developed a closed production process chain, controlling from input materials to finished products. Throughout this process, the Company’s green vision is built in three aspects.

Firstly, the Company commits to using natural wood fibers as raw materials, and actively researches and develops future reforestation projects to protect the natural ecosystem. Secondly, the Company invests in advanced machinery and technology systems from Germany and Switzerland with highly automated production lines. This not only helps optimize the capacity and product quality but also strictly controls the emission index, ensuring low formaldehyde content and meeting safety standards. Moreover, KES Group’s factories prioritize using environmentally friendly solar energy in all their production activities. Thirdly, KES Group focuses on staff training, ensuring that each employee understands and implements sustainable principles and processes.

Wood material appears in many modern living spaces

Wood has long been the favorite material of many people when designing interiors because its natural beauty which brings a peaceful, close-to-nature feeling to living space.

Many data show that the demand for wooden furniture in the Vietnamese market is significant. Statistics by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam show that in recent years, an average of about 96 million m2 of houses are constructed each year in Vietnam, generating great demand for interior wood used for floors, cabinets, tables, chairs, etc.

In foreign markets, although the wood industry is still facing many challenges due to the general impact of global fluctuations, data from the General Statistics Office also show positive signs. In the first 4 months of the year, the export value of wood and wood products has changed positively after each month, increasing from 806 million USD in January to 875 million USD in February; up to 1.1 billion USD in March and maintained at 1.1 billion USD in April.

Based on the opinion of the Vietnam Timber and Forest Product Association (VIFOREST) “In the second half of the year, expectations for wood and wood product exportation are more positive as economies improve and the tourism industry recovers, thus demands for furniture replacement of restaurants and hotels will increase. At the same time, the recovery of construction activities will boost demand for furniture”.

Although the demand is high, wood resources are limited. If natural wood exploitation is not controlled, it can negatively impact the environment, causing serious consequences such as storms, floods, etc.  “Therefore, industrial wood is being promoted as a potential solution to reduce pressure on natural forest resources while still satisfying consumer needs by creating green living spaces from wood,” the Company’s representative shared.
