In this episode of Design and Dialogues, we sit down with Marcel, a German entrepreneur who’s introducing OSB boards to the Indian market — a product that has already replaced 80–90% of plywood use in the US and Europe.
From shocking revelations about formaldehyde in Indian plywood to why OSB is not just safer but also cheaper and stronger, this conversation dives deep into what India’s construction and interior design industry needs to know.
We talk about:
✅ What is OSB and how it compares to plywood
✅ Why Europe banned certain plywood adhesives
✅ How OSB can cut your costs and increase durability
✅ Misconceptions, export challenges, and the market potential in India
✅ Why Marcel chose India, and what it’s like doing business here
