Bisrod Furniture Nigeria Limited has commissioned its state-of-the-art Mechanical Kiln Seasoning Plant for faster and efficient wood drying.
Commissioning the plant at the Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State headquarters of the company recently, the Ogun State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry , Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, commended the management of Bisrod Furniture Nigeria Limited for their quest for new innovation and acquisition of the Mechanical Kiln Seasoning Plant, which were aimed at bringing made-in-Nigeria furniture to the front burner, as well as to reposition the furniture manufacturing industry in Nigeria to be able to compete favourably among the comity of developed nations in terms of the manufacturing of high quality furniture.
He appreciated the commitment of Bisrod Furniture Nigeria Limited for its investment in both tree planting and the manufacturing of high quality furniture, adding that the Ogun State government was quite impressed with the company’s enormous contributions in cultivating a virile furniture manufacturing culture in the country.
The Honourable Commissioner further explained that the Ogun State Government would continue to give necessary support to the manufacturing sector of the nation’s economy with a view to ensuring the existence of an enabling environment that would be conducive for their activities.
In his welcome address, the Chairman of Bisrod Furniture Nigeria Limited, Giwa Bisi Rodipe, appraised the achievements of the Ogun State Government and urged the government to continue to provide an enabling environment for industries to thrive, promising that Bisrod Furniture Nigeria Limited would continue to join hands with relevant agencies in the task of attaining a sound economic system and optimum use of the nation’s human and material resources.
He disclosed that his discovery that the normal air drying of sawn planks was inadequate for the company’s production need and we had to embark on hot drying method, which increased production by 15%, but this was still not enough and for an improvement and the need to actualize the company’s dream and vision, he resorted to a higher technology by acquiring Mechanical Kiln Seasoning Plant for faster and efficient wood drying and to enable the company increase its productions lines to include hardwood panel doors.
The Bisrod Furniture company boss further added that prompt drying of wood immediately after felling would significantly upgrade and add value to raw timber, stressing that drying enables substantial long-term economy by rationalising the use of timber resources.
