Malou's products
Production
Wood production at Malou is not an assembly line job. Our wood products go through many production steps. They go through many hands before they are ready to be packed. The freshly cut wood is first cut to the right size with the band saw, processed into suitable pieces before it is turned or carved. Then dried in a dryer and then sanded and finished. But there are even more processes in between. Every employee has his own speciality. The weather plays a role in the production process. It is quite difficult to dry the wood in the rainy season.
