Het is even veel tekst, maar op de site van DW staat dat wordt verwacht dat de fabriek in 2013 volledig operationeel is. Een tijdje terug stond op deze site nog 2012 en daarvoor 2011. Wat we hiermee moeten weet ik niet, maar de intentie voor een fabriek is er dus nog. Vorig jaar hield DW haar jaarlijkse aandeelhoudersvergadering op 29 juni. Wellicht dat deze binnenkort weer volgt.
At Diamond Wood we believe the solution is to replace the use of tropical hardwoods in these applications with Accoya® Wood. This new high-performance wood lasts even longer than tropical hardwoods in the harshest outdoor environments. And because Accoya® is made from sustainable softwoods, which are replanted, the Chinese dream will have the potential to grow for centuries to come.
Diamond Wood China Limited provides Accoya® - a proven type of high-performance, sustainable wood for Asian construction firms and Asian manufacturers of wood products. Upon completion of its first production facility in Nanjing, which is expected to be fully operational in 2013, the company expects be the largest single supplier of timber in Asia. Diamond Wood has built strong foundations for future growth with its powerful combination of the exclusive Accoya® technology license, strong Asian government support, and close relations with industry leaders throughout Asia.
Diamond Wood's exclusive licence will allow it to manufacture up to 750,000 m3 p.a. of Accoya® Wood. Its first factory in Nanjing, capable of more than 120,000 m³ of Accoya® wood per year, is expected to be fully operational in 2013. Although the factory will position Diamond Wood as the largest single timber supplier in Asia, the company will still only be addressing a small part of the growing 24 million m3 per year market for performance wood in China.
Diamond Wood expects construction of it its first phase of the Nanjing production facility to begin deliveries in early 2013. Until the Nanjing factory is completed and operational, the Company will import Accoya® Wood from Titan Wood's factory in Europe with a view to developing key Asia customers and channel partners.
