Newwood Corporation is the first Vietnamese company to obtain BIS certification for plywood under IS 303
The Indian market is expanding rapidly in the plywood industry which is fuelled by increasing market in the construction, furniture, and interior design industries. This demand has resulted in regulatory compliance becoming a rigid requirement by foreign manufacturers who are willing to enter the Indian market.
Newwood Corporation is the plywood factory that has completed the BIS certification based on IS 303 in Vietnam. The certification was made possible through the expert guidance of AATC – Aleph Vietnam, the Vietnam branch office of Aleph India, a leading certification and product compliance consultancy.
It is not just a milestone to the New wood Corporation but also a great illustration of how strategic projecting and prior application of evolutionary necessities can provide extensively business benefits in the long run.
INDIAN Demand of BIS Certified Plywood
One of the most rapidly developing plywood markets is India which has a growing demand in the residential and commercial construction, modular furniture, and infrastructure development. With the domestic demand still on the increase, Indian authorities have increased the quality and safety control measures to safeguard consumers and also maintain standardization.
This regulatory system has made plywood products sold in India to be required to comply with BIS certification as defined by IS 303. To most foreign producers, who have to operate in Southeast Asia in particular, BIS applications, testing, factory inspection, and documentation may prove to be cumbersome and time-consuming. Here lies the need to have expert consulting.
With its BIS certification being the first corporation to do so, New wood Corporation has made a definite first-mover advantage over its competitors. Being the first BIS certified plywood manufacturer in Vietnam, New wood is currently at a position of enjoying early entry to the Indian market when most other plywood exporters continue to grapple with compliance issues.
As a BIS certified plywood Vietnam supplier, New wood can be a reliable and compliant brand to the Indian importers, distributors, and project developers. The certification does not only guarantee regulatory acceptance but it also increases credibility, market presence and business sustainability in the long run.
Strategic Consulting by AATC – Aleph Vietnam for Plywood Vietnam Manufacturer
This achievement has been made possible through the strategic consulting of AATC – Aleph Vietnam, the official Vietnam branch of Aleph India. With a deep understanding of BIS regulations, Indian Standards, and global manufacturing practices, AATC played a critical role at every stage of the certification process.
The consulting strategy was designed to be proactive and compliance-oriented. It began with gap analysis and product-to-standard mapping, followed by coordination with BIS-approved laboratories, preparation of documentation, and audit readiness. This ensured that New wood Corporation was fully aligned with the requirements of IS 303 well before the actual submission, significantly reducing delays and regulatory risks.
Early BIS certification offers significant strategic advantages. As a pioneer, New wood Corporation is currently benefiting from lower competition, faster order conversion, and stronger bargaining power among Indian buyers. Importers also prefer suppliers who are already compliant, as this eliminates regulatory uncertainty and port-level delays.
For other plywood manufacturers in Vietnam, this case delivers a clear and important lesson: early compliance is no longer optional, it is a competitive advantage. Companies that delay BIS certification face a high risk of losing market share to BIS compliant suppliers who are ready to meet India’s steadily growing demand.
