Indian Plywood

Way back in the year 1951, IPM introduced Anchor Marine Plywood primarily to cater to the rigorous requirements of the Indian Navy. Since then it has remained India's No. 1 Marine Plywood; much envied, but never equalled. With Anchor 72 Marine Plywood carrying the first ever lifetime guarantee in the country against borer attack, Anchor brought cheers to the harried users of marine plywood.

Back in the fifties, Anchor blazed a trail by introducing a wide range of "engineered" plywood products like Anchor shuttering plywood, Anchor Film faced Plywood, Anchor Fire Retardant Plywood and Anchor Aircraft Plywood, for use in such extensive applications as concrete shuttering and form work in building construction, in ship building, in railway coach construction, in structural parts of aircrafts, and in furniture and building interior systems.

In 1973, Anchor set up a full-fledged Research and Development Division with the recognition of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Government of India. Through in-house research Anchor developed new resin formulations using certain industrial waste products, and the first ever veneered decorative plywood from reconstituted veneers using Indian commercial timbers.
