Production Process:
Planting the tree: Proteak makes its boards out of eucalyptus, which has a five-year
rotation period. The same tree can be used three times. Eucalyptus is mostly grown on
6,400 ha. owned by the company and some 300,000 m3 are harvested each year. The
company purchases a small percentage from mom & pop producers in the area nearby
its Tabasco mill.
Transforming the logs: The logs are taken through a chipper; that is, the wood is cut
into tiny pieces. Then, the chips are further broken down to extract fiber (hence, the F
in MDF).
Getting the boards ready: The fiber is compressed, cut to desired measures, and left to
cool off. After this, the natural-looking boards are ready to be sold.

Value-added strategies: A paper overlay may be attached through hot pressure, adding
color and texture to the boards.
