The Federation of Indian Plywood and Panel Industry (FIPPI), the apex body representing manufacturers of plywood, panel boards, wood/bamboo, and agro-waste products, has been at the forefront of advancing India’s wood-based industries. Known for fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, FIPPI continues to shape the future of this critical sector.
Recently, Shri Rajesh Mittal, Chairman cum Managing Director of Greenply Industries Limited (GIL), assumed the Presidency of FIPPI from his predecessor. Mittal, known for his visionary leadership at Greenply Industries, brings a wealth of experience to the role, aligning seamlessly with the company's unwavering commitment to advancing the plywood and panel industry.
Mittal, along with the newly elected leadership team at FIPPI, aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices, foster rural livelihoods, and ensure a thriving ecosystem for the wood-based industry in India. This aligns seamlessly with FIPPI’s mission of nurturing a sustainable supply chain by integrating marginal farmers into agroforestry practices and promoting environmentally responsible manufacturing.
FIPPI’s collaborative efforts with premier organizations like FICCI and CII as knowledge partners play a pivotal role in shaping national policies and advancing sectoral goals. By leveraging the collective expertise of its members, FIPPI remains a driving force behind the development and standardization of India’s wood-based industries.
Under Rajesh Mittal’s leadership, FIPPI is well-positioned to champion the interests of India’s wood-based industry, supporting small and medium enterprises, advancing sustainability, and driving innovation. This leadership transition marks a new chapter in FIPPI’s commitment to fostering growth and ensuring a sustainable future for the sector
