Panda Panel Agencies Limited is one of the UK’s leading independent import / export agency companies specialising in a comprehensive range of both "Commercial" and "Speciality" wood based panel products originating primarily from China, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Whilst being a UK based company our main operation is in China where we have our own staff and from where we export to a number of world markets including the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East, South East Asia and Australia.
We are able to provide an extensive range of wood based panel products which are currently sold to major importers, industrial end users and DIY multiple retail stores.
Everything we ship from China is carefully inspected either during production and / or during final quality inspection by either our own team of inspectors or reputable third-party inspectors
We are FSC® Certified (SGSCH-COC-004667) and specialise in FSC® Certified commercial plywood, film faced plywood and door skin plywood.
We are also PEFC Certified (Certificate No GB20/967084) and able to offer PEFC certified Eucalyptus faced Poplar core plywood in a range of sizes and thicknesses specifically for UK and European DIY multiple retail stores
We are also ISO 9001 : 2015 certified (QAS International Registration Certificate No CA15150 refers) and ISO 14001 : 2015 certified (QAS International Registration Certificate No EN1910 refers)
Through many years of experience in trading directly with Chinese plywood manufacturers (as opposed to export trading companies) we have the ability to ensure that everything we sell is in accordance with the correct specification and quality requirements.
We have a reputation for being able to supply virtually every type of wood based panel product originating in Asia and our range of products is a testament to the time spent with suppliers in the region to establish new and innovative products.
On 29 June 2023, the new Regulation on deforestation-free products entered into force (otherwise known as “European Union Deforestation Regulations” in the European Union) . The main driver of these processes is the expansion of agricultural land that is linked to the production of commodities like cattle, wood, cocoa, soy, palm oil, coffee, rubber, and some of their derived products, such as leather, chocolate, tyres, or furniture.
Under the Regulation, any operator or trader who places wood or wood-based products on the EU market, or exports from them, must be able to prove that the products do not originate from recently deforested land or have contributed to forest degradation.
In order to comply with the new regulations we have a dedicated Compliance Coordinator who works very closely with our suppliers to ensure they are able to provide comprehensive sets of documents to confirm everything we offer is in compliance with the new regulations.
Having been established for the past 20 years our customers increasingly demand unique and innovative panel products which we continue to source from our versatile and innovative suppliers
Over the years , we have increased our product knowledge and supply chain expertise to allow us to offer the extensive product range we have today.
