Veneer processing

PRODUCTS AND PROCESSING

A complete offer that allows Leonardo Tranciati to be a strategic partner for its customers in all the requests regarding the veneer world.

Each wood species brings with it precise and peculiar characteristics that require to be handled with an extremely professional production cycle, based on technological innovation of machinery, organisation and training of the staff.

Backing

Veneer splicing

We are specialised in the veneer splicing for over than 40 years, with continuous investments in technological innovation, organisation of the productive cycle and training of people. Expertise, knowledge of the different wood species and professionality are at the base of the quality and the optimal performances of the spliced products.

Backing

We realise the veneer backing in-house for the most various applications, based on the specific requests of the customers, supplying a bespoke product. Depending on the way it is made and on the materials used, the backing can have very different characteristics and functions: in each case a greater strength, to facilitate subsequent industrial and craft processing, but also unexpected flexibility for innovative solutions in the coating of curved surfaces.

Ecological and sustainable, wood becomes an even more extraordinary material, discovering flexibility and softness.

Countless are the materials that can be coupled to veneers of the most different species, form cork to leather, from fabrics to rigid materials as Plexiglas, to special double-sided tape backings.

Sanding of veneers

Veneer Sanding

Thanks to the sanding process, the product is cleaned from oxidation patina and impurities and corrected from thickness imperfections. In this way, veneer can be immediately used in further processing, such as pressing, even on curved surfaces, or worked to be used on special materials.

Ironing

Veneer ironing

Wood veneers that are not perfectly flat are processed in a hot/cold cycle in order to obtain a flat and easily workable raw material: this is the only way to guarantee the success of the subsequent wood veneer processing stages.
