Rubberwood story:
The rubber tree was originated came from Brazil named Hevea brasiliensis from the species family of Euphorbiaceae and widely planted for the production of latex in South East Asia country, mainly in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

At the begining stage, rubber trees just for use in produce milky liquid known as latex that circulates through small tubes or veins for every 5- 7 years of growing. And these trees will discontinue for produce latex after 21 - 25 year, so at this moment, due to unproductive, therefore this trees are demand to fell (either replanting or other planning). Initially the felled trees were of low commercial value and mainly used as firewood, hence, due to worldwide technological developments & environment hazard, All these threes became valuable sources especially for furniture industrial. Today, Rubberwood becomes one of the most demanding and popular timbers for furniture maker (for both local & oversea market), therefore, this wood now can have categorised as environment-friendly due to hazard free to the environment and the supply is sustainable. In the sense that we are now using what was going as waste.

Today Malaysia become one of the major resource and country who successful for supplying & exporting rubberwood ( for both sawn wood, raw, semi-finished, finished good and furniture accessories ) and for the production of panel products such as particleboards, woodfibre cement-bonded particleboards ,fibreboards (MDF),, plywood and other products for both local and oversea market demand.
