Rehau ‘Carpenter Meet’ program aims at upskilling the furniture industry

REHAU, a leading manufacturer of polymer-based solutions, is aiming to train 2,000+ carpenters under its ‘Carpenter Meet’ program this year.

With this program, REHAU aims to educate the carpenters on Edgeband, which not only improves the aesthetics of the end product and improves the life of furniture but also helps enhance the productivity of carpenters.

Furthermore, RAUKANTEX UPVC Edgeband offers colors that match those of all the leading laminate manufacturers in India and is available in a wide variety of sizes. REHAU will also cover how their range of products addresses the latest trends in product applications, best practices in the industry and will help build the necessary expertise for delivering on those.
