NILEWOOD, a subsidiary of Valmore Holding and a leading manufacturer of medium-density fiberboard (MDF), participated as an exhibitor at Saudi Wood Show 2026, held in Riyadh from September 1 to 3.
The company’s participation reflects its strategy to expand its regional presence, accelerate export growth, and strengthen its position in high-potential markets. As part of this expansion strategy, NILEWOOD is focused on increasing its footprint in Saudi Arabia and across the GCC, while developing stronger direct relationships with customers and business partners throughout key regional markets.
