Plywood Fakes in the Bangalore Market and a brief interaction with the Kitply Management on the same

A few days back I happened to get an email from a senior member of the Kitply Management team acknowledging the issue of Plywood Fakes available in the market. The gentleman also mentioned some of the things that Kitply is trying to do to weed out the fakes.

I am reproducing the communication below as this will be of interest to the readers of this blog. Note that this is not a recommendation nor an endorsement of Kitply’s products or the company.


Cheers

  1. Neem Gold Plywood used for making Wardrobe – What is the best rate per sq ft possible in Bangalore and any Brand names you can suggest.

  2. I have not used Neem Gold hence cannot comment. Usually any ISI Marked ply in the range of approx Rs 70 psft for 19mm MR Grade & Rs 100 psft for BWR Grade is fine to use

  3. True, the fakes are everywhere. Its not just ply, when I bought Legrand MCBs the dealer was showing me an exact replica of it which is a duplicate. An end user can never differentiate between them. But its shocking to know that even the big distributors indulging themselves in this act, just for more margin. Its a good move from kitply to save its customers. Thanks for the info!
