Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures laminated boards by applying adhesive to thinly sliced wood (veneer), stacking it, and pressing it with a press machine.
Description
Veneer laminated material manufacturers apply adhesive to veneers sliced to a specific thickness from wood, stack multiple sheets, and produce plywood and laminated materials through press processing involving pressure and heat. In the manufacturing process, they handle dimension management, quality inspection, adhesive mixing and application, press condition settings, and finishing (cutting and polishing). Adjusting conditions based on wood characteristics and seasonal variations, safety and health management, and machine maintenance are also key responsibilities.
Future Outlook
Demand as building materials and furniture components remains stable, but automation, labor reduction, and the introduction of new materials are expected to progress. Skill succession and adaptation to mechanization are important.
