WOOD VENEERS
Natural and Unique
The contacts made over the past 20 years and our experience enable us to anticipate trends and follow the various developments in wood-related issues around the world. In fact, since these are protected natural products, laws and availability often change, and us, being one of the first links in the distribution chain, we are able to predict what the production and distribution of some veneers will look like in the near future.
The constant search for material for our clients leads us to introduce novelties that are often rare or even unknown.
Today’s corporate structure gives us the ability to have a very large and diverse customer base that relies on us with the convenience of finding everything they need in one warehouse!
With species from North, Central and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania, we are able to meet any kind of demand.
Our customers produce furniture, doors, baseboards, edgebendings, decorative panels, musical instruments, dashboards and car, plane, helicopter and train interiors etc., or are leaders in the veneer trade in their country.
This large structure is supported by an efficient logistical organization. After being selected by the customer, the material is perfectly packed and shipped as quickly as possible by land, sea or air in the most urgent cases.
Veneer’s
Production
This fascinating process involves
several steps, all very important for the final result
one
the
choice
An expert selects logs in the forest by considering their appearance, shape, color, size and discards those with visible defects.
two
the
preparation
The log is “squared” and cut into “flitches” to be prepared for further processing.
three
the
cooking
Almost all species require logs to be cooked in hot water where they are softened in order to be better sliced . The cooking time differs from species to species and gives the wood a different color.
four
the
slicing
The log slicing operation produces veneer in sheets. The standard one normally ranges from 0.5 to 0.6mm. Some species are sliced in 0.7 / 0.8mm, and on demand we can produce thicknesses of 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 and 3. In very rare cases 4 or 5 mm

THE MISSION.
Exclusive Selection
Legnomarket was founded in 1976 as a company immediately linked to the world of wood through the marketing of panels. After decades of experience, it finally entered the fascinating world of natural veneers in the early 1990s and never left it, being impressed by the variety of essences existing in nature. Soon the company’s main mission became to scout every corner of the planet for essences unknown to most people and find the most unusual logs created by Mother Earth.
Today, with the largest stock of wood species in Europe, Legnomarket is the market leader in the amount of natural veneer ready in stock, which gives customers the opportunity to find whatever wood they are looking for, starting from supplies of small quantities of different species up to deliveries of entire containers of a single wood species. Our highly specialized team can assist from the carpenter, to the tradesman even to the architect!
