Log selection & sourcing
Sustainably sourced timber is graded by species, girth and soundness. Only logs that meet our density and straightness criteria enter the yard.

Where logs
become legacy.
A modern manufacturing line at Vasanthanarasapura Industrial Area, Tumkur run with old-world discipline. From log selection to IS-grade testing, every stage is controlled, measured and accountable.
Inside the plant
Precision is a process, not a promise.
Great plywood is made long before the press. It starts with the right log, the right moisture, and the patience to do each step properly. At Aakar, we treat manufacturing as engineering calibrated, repeatable and documented.
Veneers are cross-bonded so the grain of each layer opposes the next, locking the sheet against warping and movement. Resin is matched to grade MR, BWR or fully waterproof BWP and cured under controlled heat and pressure for a dense, gap-free core.
Nothing leaves the line untested. Every batch is checked for bond strength, thickness and moisture before it earns the Aakar name.
The line
From log to sheet, in nine stages.
Rotary peeling
Logs are conditioned and rotary-peeled into continuous veneer ribbons of uniform thickness the foundation of a flat, stable sheet.
Moisture-controlled drying
Veneers pass through calibrated dryers to a target moisture content, eliminating internal stress that later causes warping and delamination.
Grading & core composition
Dried veneers are sorted by quality. Faces, cores and crossbands are composed to build a dense, balanced panel with no internal gaps.
Glue application & cross lay-up
Grade-matched resin MR, BWR or BWP phenolic is evenly spread, and layers are laid with grain alternating 90° for dimensional strength.
Hot pressing
The assembled panel is cured under high temperature and hydraulic pressure, fusing the layers into a single, void-free board.
Calibration & sanding
Boards are calibrated to a tight thickness tolerance and double-sided sanded to a smooth, ready-to-finish surface.
Trimming & IS-grade testing
Sheets are squared to size and sampled for bond quality including boiling-water tests for BWP against IS 303 and IS 710.
Quality control & dispatch
Final inspection covers thickness, flatness, finish and grade marking. Passed stock is bundled, branded and dispatched to dealers.
Built into every board
The engineering you don't see.
Uniform core strength
Balanced construction provides reliable performance, stability and load-bearing capacity.
Cross-bonded grain
Alternating 90° veneer direction balances stress in both axes, keeping sheets flat and true.
Grade-matched resin
MR, BWR and BWP phenolic systems cured under controlled heat for water performance to match the grade.
Smooth surface finish
Precision sanding creates an even surface for laminates, veneers and superior furniture finishing.
Borer & termite treated
Chemically protected cores resist insect attack and fungal decay for a longer service life.
Batch testing
Every production batch is sampled for bond strength, moisture and thickness before dispatch.
