Wood Based Panels
Established in 1980, Wood Based Panels International (WBPI) is committed to bringing all the latest news from around the world which is specifically targeted at decision makers in the panel manufacturing and processing sector.
We carry firsthand, in-depth, reports on new panel mills, as well as reports and analysis from machinery manufacturers around the world. We also cover surfacing, adhesives and the down-stream processes which add value to raw panels.
WBPI is also renowned for its unique series of surveys listing all the OSB, MDF and particleboard mills around the world, with their capacities and market analyses for each sector.
Our readership includes panel manufacturers and processors; machinery makers; users of panels such as furniture makers; and anyone who trades in panel products – exporters, importers and distributors.
The magazine is backed up by an informative website and reader-friendly digital issues.
WBPI is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in any way with the panel business, internationally.
WBPI is owned by Progressive Media International, part of the New Statesman Media Group, which includes magazines, events, editorial insight, market data and information services covering a range of industries.
