AHEC Experts Outline Importance of Kiln-Drying American Hardwoods Participation at Dubai Woodshow 2012 bolstered stronger ties with MENA wood sector

摘要

The U.S. hardwood forest resource, lumber production and the importance of kiln-drying were key highlights of a presentation by Dr. Scott Bowe at the 'Dubai WoodShow 2012' conference, which was held at the Dubai International Convention and ExhibitionCentre (DICEC). The seminar by Dr. Bowe, Professor & Wood Products Specialist, Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin, USA also threw the spotlight on the environmental credentials of American hardwoods to an audience comprising of industry professionals and trade visitors at the 'Dubai WoodShow 2012', which ran from April 3-5, 2012. AHEC's participation at the event was centred on the move to reinforce trade ties with the rapidly developing wood and wood processing industry whilst promoting the increased usage of American hardwoods across the many ongoing construction, interior design and furniture projects across the region.
