Real panels and QC videos
See the faces before you order.
Buyers judge a Vietnam plywood manufacturer by its faces and by how a sheet turns over. These are phone clips and photos of full production sheets, the same proof we send before loading.
Edges and thickness, measured on the stack.
The edge shows how a panel is built: even core layers, no gaps, a tight glue line. The caliper shows the tolerance you will machine to.

Who we are
A Vietnam plywood manufacturer with its own presses, not a trading desk.
Minh Thanh Plywood is a plywood factory in Ha Hoa, Phu Tho, in northern Vietnam. We lay up, press, sand and pack our panels on our own lines, and we have been making plywood for over 20 years.
Our speciality is high-grade furniture and interior plywood: 10+ face veneers on a white Styrax or Eucalyptus core. As a Vietnam plywood supplier we also produce commercial, packing, film-faced and anti-slip plywood and LVL, and as a Vietnam plywood exporter we ship container loads from Hai Phong under FOB, CFR or CIF.
1220 × 2440 and 1250 × 2500 mm, custom sizes such as 1220 × 2500 and 1220 × 2280 mm · 3–40 mm · cut-to-size into 4, 6 or 8 pieces.

How we build a furniture panel
The details furniture makers check first.
Cores stitched both ways
Core layers are stitched horizontally and vertically, so they stay put in the press. No gaps or overlaps to telegraph through the face.
UF glue at E0 emission as standard
Furniture and interior panels are E0, tested every 3 months. E1, melamine-fortified (MR) and phenolic (WBP) glues are made to your specification.
Thickness down to ±0.2 mm
Calibrated sanding holds furniture panels to a tolerance down to ±0.2 mm, so parts machine and edge-band cleanly.
UV-ready on both faces
Both faces are prepared to the standard you need to apply your own UV coating, with no extra sanding on your line.
Sanded and polished faces
Faces leave the factory sanded and polished, ready for lacquer, paint, foil or lamination.
Sizes and cut-to-size
1220 × 2440 and 1250 × 2500 mm, custom sizes, and panels cut into 4, 6 or 8 pieces. Cut-to-size orders ship regularly to Italy and other European markets.

Request samplesThe factory
From Ha Hoa cores to your production floor.
Ha Hoa is in Phu Tho province, northern Vietnam, with road access to Hai Phong port. Styrax and Eucalyptus grow on plantations around the factory, so core veneer arrives fresh and from close by.
We have made plywood for over 20 years, and the factory is built for top-grade furniture and interior plywood. We grade the core veneer, lay up and press each panel twice, then sand, check and pack it on site. That is how we keep a high-grade furniture panel at a better price than comparable mills.
How a furniture panel is made: 15 steps in our factory
- 01
Plantation logs
Styrax and Eucalyptus logs arrive from plantations around Ha Hoa, a short haul from the mill, and are sorted by species and diameter.
Local timber - 02
Rotary peeling
Logs are rotary-peeled into continuous sheets of core veneer, usually 1.4–2.0 mm thick.
Core veneer - 03
Veneer drying
Veneer is dried before grading and lay-up, so every sheet takes glue evenly in the press.
Dry veneer - 04
Veneer grading
Core veneer is sorted by grade; furniture panels take grade-A core veneer only.
Grade A - 05
Core stitching
Joints in each core layer are stitched horizontally and vertically, so no gaps or overlaps open in the press.
No core gaps - 06
Glue spreading
UF glue at E0 emission is spread on the core veneers as standard; E1, MR or phenolic WBP to your specification.
E0 standard - 07
Cross lay-up
Veneers are laid crosswise: an 18 mm panel carries 11–13 plies, and thin 3–6 mm panels are always five plies.
Balanced build - 08
Cold pre-press
The stack is pre-pressed cold to set the glue line and hold the lay-up square before hot pressing.
Stable stack - 09
First hot press
The core board is hot-pressed at about 110–120 °C for MR glue and 130–145 °C for phenolic WBP.
Core board - 10
Calibrating the core
The core board is sanded to calibrated thickness and surface defects are filled, so the face veneer lies flat.
Flat base - 11
Second press
Face and back veneers are laid on and the panel is pressed a second time, our standard for furniture grade.
Pressed twice - 12
Sanding and polishing
Calibrated sanding brings the panel to a tolerance down to ±0.2 mm; both faces are polished and UV-ready.
Down to ±0.2 mm - 13
Trimming to size
Panels are trimmed square to 1220 × 2440, 1250 × 2500 mm or a custom size, or cut into 4, 6 or 8 pieces.
Exact size - 14
Final inspection
Every sheet is graded against your approved sample and read with a digital caliper; E0 is chamber-tested every 3 months.
Sheet by sheet - 15
Packing and loading
Packs go on export pallets with cardboard, corner guards and steel straps, and every container is filmed during loading.

FAQ
What buyers ask before importing plywood from Vietnam.
Still have questions?
Send us your drawing or specification and our export team will reply within hours.
Talk to our export teamIs Minh Thanh Plywood a manufacturer or a trading company?
We are a Vietnam plywood manufacturer. We make plywood in Ha Hoa, Phu Tho, with 50,000+ m³ of annual capacity, and our CARB P2 / TSCA Title VI (ICTT mill no. 23024) and ISO 9001:2015 certificates are issued for plywood we make ourselves. You can see the certificates, real panels and QC clips on this page.
Why buy plywood from Vietnam?
Vietnam pairs plantation timber with skilled mills. Styrax and Eucalyptus grow on plantations across northern Vietnam, so core veneer is local and fresh; mills around Phu Tho have pressed plywood for decades; local timber and labour keep high-grade panels at a better price than comparable mills. We supply CARB P2 / TSCA Title VI certified panels and the EUDR compliance dossier, produce 50,000+ m³ a year and ship from Hai Phong 15–45 days after deposit.
What is your minimum order, and can I mix products in one container?
The minimum order is one 40HC container. Mixed loads are possible by agreement: list each item with face, core, thickness, size and quantity, and we plan them as one load.
What should I send a Vietnam plywood supplier for a quotation?
Start with the end use and the destination port. Then list the face and back veneer, core and stitching, glue and emission class on separate lines, thickness, size and tolerance, quantity and Incoterm. Add a drawing for cut-to-size pieces. We reply within hours with a price, lead time and QC plan.
How long does production take?
15–45 days after we receive the deposit, depending on quantity and specification. Thin 4 mm panels can take longer, because premium thin veneer is scarce and we do not lower the grade to go faster.
How long does shipping from Vietnam take?
Sea transit from Hai Phong typically takes about 5–12 days to South-East Asia, 15–25 days to the Middle East, 20–30 days to the US West Coast, 25–35 days to Mediterranean ports, 30–40 days to Northern Europe, 35–45 days to the US East Coast and 35–50 days to West Africa, by carrier and route. Add this to the 15–45 days of production; on CFR and CIF terms we book the vessel.
Which documents ship with each container?
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin (EUR.1 for EU buyers), phytosanitary and fumigation certificates, and insurance for CIF orders. Certificates and test reports for your order, the EUDR geolocation files and the PPWR packaging test travel with the set. Plywood ships under HS heading 4412; the subheading depends on the face species.
What decides the price of plywood from Vietnam?
Five things: the face veneer (birch and EV cost more than bintangor or poplar), the core species and grade, the glue system (UF glue at E0 emission, MR or phenolic WBP), the thickness and tolerance, and the order volume and destination. Two quotes with the same product name can differ because the construction differs. Send your specification and we quote the exact panel, FOB Hai Phong, CFR or CIF.
What payment terms and Incoterms do you accept?
30% deposit and 70% against the scanned bill of lading, by T/T or irrevocable L/C at sight. We quote FOB Hai Phong, CFR or CIF.
Which certificates do you hold?
We hold CARB P2 / TSCA Title VI (ICTT mill no. 23024, hardwood plywood veneer core 3–50 mm), ISO 9001:2015 (KAC25/0185) and TCVN 11902:2017. E0 emission is tested every 3 months, and our packaging passed an SGS heavy-metals test under the EU PPWR. FSC and CE are available, supplied directly or through qualified partner mills.
Is your plywood made from Vietnamese wood?
Our cores are Vietnamese plantation timber: white Styrax or Eucalyptus grown around Ha Hoa, peeled, laid up and pressed in our factory. Face veneers are chosen for the look you order: Poplar, Pine, Eucalyptus and EV, and imported Birch and Okoume for buyers who want those faces. Each panel is named by its face, such as birch-faced or okoume-faced plywood.
Can you supply EUDR documents for shipments to Europe?
Yes. We supply the EUDR compliance dossier (origin records and geolocation files) with every order for Europe, together with the usual export documents. Vietnam is classed as low risk under the EUDR.
What core, glue and emission class do your furniture panels use?
A grade-A Styrax or Eucalyptus core, stitched horizontally and vertically, with UF glue at E0 emission as standard. E1, melamine-fortified (MR) and phenolic (WBP) glues are made to your specification.
Can you make custom sizes and send samples first?
Yes. Besides 1220 × 2440 and 1250 × 2500 mm we make custom sizes such as 1220 × 2500 and 1220 × 2280 mm, and cut panels into 4, 6 or 8 pieces. Free samples.
How much plywood fits in a 40HC, and how is it packed?
On our 28,000 kg plan a 40HC carries 990 sheets of 1220 × 2440 × 18 mm Styrax-core plywood (about 53 m³), 880 on an Acacia core (about 47 m³) or 795 on Eucalyptus (about 43 m³). Packs are palletised, wrapped in cardboard with corner guards and steel straps, and every shipment is photographed and filmed during loading. The container calculator gives an estimate for your mix.
