MTCC timber arrives at Jewson

15 February 2005

Jewson has taken delivery of its first consignment of timber products to be certified by the Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC).

The 106m3 of MTCC-certified tropical hardwood plywood, now being distributed among the company's 600 branches, was part of a 1,595m3 plywood shipment which arrived at Jewson Internal Timber Supply at Hull in early February.

The shipment is the result of a systematic approach by Jewson and Malaysian plywood producer Samling to increase their volumes of independently certified legal timber-based products in the UK.
