Industries We Serve

At Thomes Ltd., we have been providing reliable, cost-effective industrial solutions and materials for more than 50 years. In that time, we’ve honed our experience and manufacturing capabilities to support major sectors like automotive and construction, as well as more specialized applications:

TruckIng and Transportation: We have experience developing standard and custom plywood panels and parts that meet high safety and durability standards, allowing us to serve some of North America’s largest automotive companies. We also offer commercial vehicle flooring and trailer decking, including Riga birch plywood for flooring, ceilings, and wall structures.
Concrete: Our customers in concrete wholesaling can use Baltic birch to market directly to concrete professionals, who often use it to produce their own concrete forms. Its lightweight nature makes it a very workable material, holding its shape while maintaining the necessary strength.
Furniture and Kitchen Cabinetry: Imported from Finland, our furniture-grade plywood is built to last for decades and can be used for beds, sofas, cabinets, tables, chairs, and more. Melamine-coated options are available for visible installations that require both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Aircraft: Thomes Ltd. is a leading importer of KOSKIPLY, a thin aircraft-grade plywood material that offers extreme strength, flexibility, and lightness. It also meets Germanischer Lloyd (GL) standards and is ideal for floorboards, instrument panels, reinforcement plates for wing spars, and other aviation applications.
Boat Manufacturing: Our phenolic film is specially engineered with a hexagonal pattern to provide better grip on wet surfaces while adding a sleek, modern appearance to flooring. This makes it an ideal option for a range of boat manufacturing applications.
Laser Cutting and Engraving: Engraving, cutting, and marking plywood with lasers can be cost-effective for small, medium, or large-volume woodworking projects requiring precision and customization. That’s why Thomes Ltd. offers extensive availability and selection of imported plywood for orders of any size.

In addition to the above, we can also provide plywood solutions for road cases, scaffolding and mezzanines, stage production, and other unique projects while meeting your size, functional, and aesthetic requirements.

THOMES TIMELINES

Our MISSION is Supply Chain Oriented, to find you the best option to solve your production requirements.

When Thomes was founded in 1963, we started with decades of experience in the production of Birch Plywood, made in Finland. The history of Birch Plywood began in the decade of the 1800’s when mechanization of the log peeling process was invented. Since 1963, Thomes and its partner manufacturers have revolutionized the North American market by developing what is still defined as state of the art Baltic Birch Plywood. It uses conventional press technologies and innovative advanced coatings to achieve superior product results every time. By combining re-defined process flows with innovative product designs & standards Thomes did not become yet another wholesale supplier, but rather a product solutions innovator.
