Plywood Manufacturers in Sri Lanka · Since 2014
EV face and non-face plywood, calibrated, treated and pressed with care in Pothuhera. Made for builders, furniture makers and interiors across Sri Lanka.
Who we are
Since 2014, Chalaka Plywood Manufacturers has turned carefully selected logs into strong, flat and dependable panels at our factory in Pothuhera, Sri Lanka. Every sheet is peeled, dried, graded and pressed by a team that takes pride in the details.
From a single press to a growing dealer network, our promise is unchanged: honest boards that make your work easier.
Inside the factory
Watch how raw timber becomes calibrated plywood in a ten-step process built around consistency, strength and care.
Sustainability
Our timber comes from managed plantations where trees are replanted after harvest. Rotary peeling extracts the maximum veneer from every log, and offcuts are reused as fuel and core material, so very little goes to waste.
Our products
Two ranges, both pressed in our own factory: choose the face that suits your finish.
Where it’s used
From kitchen cabinets to feature walls, our panels are made for the job they will do.
Why Chalaka
Good plywood is invisible. It just works. These are the details that make ours dependable, sheet after sheet.
Sanded to a uniform thickness so panels sit flush and laminate perfectly.
Protective chemistry in the glue line guards against insect attack.
An EV face for a finished timber look, or non-face for laminate and paint.
Timber from managed plantations, peeled for maximum yield per log.
Bond, moisture and surface inspected before every dispatch.
Safe, scheduled delivery wherever your project is.
How it’s made
Every board starts with the right tree. We select straight, sound logs from responsibly managed plantations.
On the lathe, each log turns against a long blade, unrolling a continuous sheet of veneer.
Skilled hands grade each veneer, repairing splits and knots so only sound sheets reach the press.
Veneers are stacked with alternating grain direction, then pre-pressed to form a stable panel.
Boards are squared to size and sanded to a smooth, calibrated thickness.
From the blog
SustainabilityRubber trees spend decades producing latex before they are replanted. Here's why that timber has become a valuable, responsible material for plywood and furniture.
