Production
VidarWood is a producer and supplier of high-quality optimised European softwood.
The wood is selected, finger jointed, laminated and profiled at our production location near Poznan (Poland).
In addition to our production options, we have our own testing and R&D facilities for the testing and production of made-to-order wood products and development of new semi-finished products.
VidarWood also works closely with two European partners, between which the production of specific products is divided. This collaboration increases the product range and guarantees continuity in terms of volume and quality.
Research
VidarWood has two laboratories with testing facilities for:
- strength tests
- bonding
- migration tests
- Durability tests
VidarWood uses strict control procedures to guarantee the continuity of the production processes and the wood quality. VidarWood has its own R&D facilities in the Netherlands and Poland for developing new, made-to-order wood products and semi-furnished products. Thorough engineering procedures mean that for many applications, our optimised softwood products are a fully fledged replacement for tropical wood products.
