Ups and downs of wood products sector in Iran
References to the wood products industry in Iran can be traced as far back as 4200 B.C. in the writings of historians such as Herodotus, Xenophon, and Quinte-Curce. In the period, native people of Iran used wood for wheels, carts, and agricultural tools. Later, in the Achaemenid dynasty, Xenophon describes wood used for battle weapons, buildings, ships, and bridges.
Modern industrial use of wood in Iran emerged with the establishment of sawmills and match factories in the early 1900s and the manufacturing of plywood, fiberboard, particleboard, and furniture in the 1950s.
