With over 15 years of expertise in finger jointing, lamination, and moulding, we’ve grown into one of Asia’s largest laminated scantling manufacturers, trusted by Europe for superior craftsmanship and reliability.
20+ years of expertise in lamination, finger jointing, and moulding for premium timber solutions.
Selected product lines comply with recognised European certification schemes, including KOMO and CTB LCA, demonstrating performance reliability and environmental accountability.
Equipped with WEINIG, GRECON, and HOMAG systems for precise and efficient production.
Laminated using a water-based EPI adhesive system rated D4, providing high bonding strength and moisture resistance suitable for exterior joinery applications, particularly under European climate conditions.
Laminated scantling resists warping and twisting, perfect for doors, windows, and joinery.
Water-based bonding system with negligible formaldehyde emissions, compliant with European E0 emission requirements for safe indoor and outdoor use.
Flexible manufacturing enables us to produce customized products to meet different customer requirements.
Controlled grading and lamination ensure uniform colour, grain consistency, and surface quality suitable for high-end architectural joinery.
High-precision saws that deliver clean, accurate cuts for uniform lamella thickness, ensuring optimal bonding surfaces and reduced material waste.
Standalone systems that join short wood pieces end-to-end with finger joints, creating longer, structurally sound lamella while maximising material yield.
Applies controlled heat and pressure to bond multiple lamella into solid timber sections. This ensures superior adhesion, structural integrity, and long-term performance.
Dedicated profiling machines that shape timber to precise dimensions, enabling smooth assembly and custom profiles with tight tolerances.
Advanced sanding units that deliver consistent, smooth surfaces on finished scantlings, readying them for coating, painting, or final use.
Dark Red Meranti (Shorea spp.) is a widely used Southeast Asian hardwood valued for its balanced strength, good workability, and reliable machining performance. At Maran Timber, the species is sourced from our own FSC® certification-certified forest as well as PEFC™ certification-certified forests across Peninsular Malaysia. It is commonly used in interior joinery, doors, mouldings, and furniture components where stable machining and consistent finishing performance are required.
Typical air-dry density: 500–650 kg/m³
Movement classification: Medium
Workability: Good machining and finishing characteristics
Dark Red Meranti (Shorea spp.) has moderate natural durability, typically classified as Durability Class 3–4 (EN 350) depending on species and exposure conditions. It is suitable for interior applications or sheltered exterior use when properly protected with coatings or preservatives.
With an average air-dry density of 500–650 kg/m³, Dark Red Meranti offers a good strength-to-weight ratio and stable performance when properly kiln dried. It machines easily and produces smooth surfaces suitable for coatings, stains, and adhesives, while controlled drying helps minimise distortion during fabrication and service.
Dark Red Meranti is considered a cost-efficient tropical hardwood, offering reliable performance and workability at a competitive price point. Its availability in consistent grades and sizes makes it a practical material for large-scale joinery and construction projects.
Sapele sourced from African region valued for its attractive ribbon-striped grain, strength, and dimensional stability. It is widely used in architectural joinery, doors, window components, furniture, and interior finishing where both performance and appearance are important. Available in both FSC®-certified and EUDR-compliant.
Typical air-dry density: 620–670 kg/m³
Movement classification: Medium
Workability: Good, with attention required for interlocked grain
Sapele is classified as Durability Class 2–3 (EN 350), offering moderate to good natural resistance to decay. It is suitable for interior applications and protected exterior use when properly coated or maintained.
With an average air-dry density of approximately 620–670 kg/m³, Sapele provides good mechanical strength and stability. The timber machines well and produces smooth surfaces for finishing, though its interlocked grain may require sharp tooling during machining. Proper kiln drying improves dimensional stability and reduces movement during service.
Sapele is positioned as a premium joinery hardwood, valued for its consistent quality, attractive figure, and reliable machining performance.
Red Grandis is a plantation-grown hardwood recognised for its uniform texture, consistent colour, and sustainable availability. Sourced from South America and available in FSC-certified supply. It is commonly used in engineered wood products, joinery components, furniture, and architectural applications requiring reliable material performance.
Typical air-dry density: 550–650 kg/m³
Movement classification: Medium
Workability: Good machining, gluing, and finishing properties
Red Grandis generally exhibits moderate durability (Durability Class 3–4, EN 350). It is suitable for interior applications or protected exterior use when properly treated or coated.
With an average air-dry density of approximately 550–650 kg/m³, Red Grandis provides good strength and stability for engineered wood components. The timber machines easily and responds well to gluing and finishing processes, making it well suited for laminated products and precision joinery. Controlled kiln drying ensures uniform moisture content and stable performance during fabrication.
Red Grandis offers a cost-efficient and sustainable alternative hardwood, combining reliable performance with consistent plantation supply.
