What is WISA plywood?

Life of Plywood 

Timber products such as plywood panels are integral to every building project. Used extensively by large multi-project construction companies, as well as those working on smaller commercial and domestic buildings, plywood panels are fundamental to today’s construction. WISA UPM is a new innovative plywood that provides a range of exceptional plywood panels for construction and formwork panels which work across a diverse range of construction and technical needs. Sustainably produced, we’ve chosen to supply these flexible panels based on their high quality performance, tailormade components and as a one stop shop answer to every panel application.
