MAAD-WOOD® is an industrial product made from processed wood, introduced by the specialized
MAAD-WOOD® team as a technological and environmentally friendly solution.
The thermal treatment of wood inside vegetable oil is an eco-friendly method used to increase its service life.
The physical stability of MAAD-WOOD® raw materials has been enhanced without negatively affecting its
mechanical and insulation properties.
Products manufactured with MAAD-WOOD® can be used in various industrial applications such as blocks, saddles,
shoes, beams, and isolating or separating columns.
