UPM Grada material is based on new technology which allows the wood panel to be formed with heat and pressure. The UPM Grada panel is designed specifically for easy and efficient manufacturing of form pressed components.

The new Grada technology enables a remarkably shorter and more efficient production process since the form pressing starts with a readymade and cut-to-size panel instead of a stack of veneers and liquid glue.

Efficiency Made Easy
