Century Plyboards (India) Ltd., which already enjoys a premium reputation as a consumer brand, is trying to create a sub brand, SAINIK PLYWOOD for the first time in the market, through a TVC. This TVC is planned in order to capture the mind space of end-consumers and also, strengthen its image among influencers (carpenters, contractors, retailers). SAINIK PLYWOOD is a tough product that epitomizes the spirit of the soldier who is ready for any hardship. It is, therefore, built on the spirit of a Sainik, who is ‘Hamesha Tayyaar’ – ‘always ready’ for any eventuality or hardship that comes his way.
SAINIK PLYWOOD enjoys a strong foothold in the economy value segment and is expected to create a buzz with this campaign. SAINIK PLYWOOD is available across markets within India with a price tag which is eminently competitive. It is indeed the most economical purchase in the category for the consumers. SAINIK PLYWOOD is termite & borer resistant, all-weather resistant and boiling water resistant. It also has the ability to withstand heavy loads. Besides, it is one of the sturdiest plywoods in its segment due to having hardwood as its core.
The primary idea behind coming up with a commercial of this scale is to create a larger-than-life impact of the product in the consumers’ minds: come what may, our hero SAINIK PLYWOOD can withstand the toughest of conditions. Hence, the story is set in a forest, where soldiers are engaged in combat across land and water, under the most trying circumstances. The SAINIK PLYWOOD box they carry bears testimony to the undaunted spirit of the soldiers, and in spite of the forces of nature and the troubles caused by men, it goes through the ordeal with the guts that only a true SAINIK PLYWOOD embodies.
As per Navarun Sen, Executive Business Head, Plywood - Century Plyboards (India) Ltd
“You are aware that CenturyPly of course has done very well. We are there at the premium segment. That’s the primary brand. However a few years back we launched SAINIK PLYWOOD to address the value segment. Am very happy that today we have grown in scale in fact it’s almost a 200CR today, that we are been able to put it out on air as a SAINIK PLYWOOD TVC for the very first time. We really hope to drive this value segment and make SAINIK PLYWOOD another huge brand from CenturyPly.”
“This is another first attempt from CenturyPly, where we are trying to create a sub brand in our journey for creating a commodity into a consumer brand. SAINIK PLYWOOD comes lower in the hierarchy of our products but is one of the most exciting products for our consumers. What we want to bring out from this campaign is built on a spirit of the Sainik in terms of integrity, commitment, strength etc. and this is what Century Plywood also stands for. Another offering from CenturyPly in terms of creating good advertisement and delivering good product to the market space”, says Amit Gope, Group Marketing Head - Century Plyboards (India) Ltd.
"SAINIK PLYWOOD from Century Plywood operates at the mass popular end of the plywood range. It caters to a price-sensitive buyer for whom durability and reliability are important virtues in the plywood they would like to use in their homes. We decided to leverage these attributes in the communication for the brand. Like any Sainik on the battlefield, this plywood is ready to take on any challenge that is thrown at it. The new communication heightens the reliability of the brand and strengthens the brand's credentials on being battle-ready", says Rajiv Sabnis, Executive Director – DDB Mudra Group & President – DDB Mudra West.
“The name SAINIK PLYWOOD in itself holds so many virtues. Strong, steadfast, resilient. Which summed up what we wanted to say about our plywood as well. And from here the story practically wrote itself.
Which was then beautifully captured by Anupam Mishra”, as per Rahul Mathew, Creative Head – DDB Mudra West.
Rajendra Shah, General Marketing Manager, Century Plyboards (India) Ltd says, “SAINIK PLYWOOD is borer & termite resistant , moisture resistant and all weather resistant. It comes in Boiling Water resistant variant also. It also has the capacity to bear heavy loads. Moreover it is the most sturdiest plywood in this segment due to hardwood content. This TVC is a creative attempt to demonstrate all these features in an interesting manner”

About the Company
Century Plyboards (India) Ltd (CPIL), incorporated in 1982 is part of the Century Group which has diverse interests in plywood, laminates and logistics.

Business Operations
CPIL primarily operates through three business segments as under:-
• Plywood: CPIL’s plywood products are used extensively in commercial and industrial settings. Its plywood is wrap resistant which helps maintain its original shape for long-term.

Some of the prominent brands under this category are Club Prime, ArchitectPly and MarinePly.
• Decoratives: CenturyLaminates’ exotic range of decorative laminates is considered superior for its higher colour fastness and the best bonding properties with substrates. This is because of the use of a unique technology in which special resins impart extra strength to its laminates, making them highly resistant to scratch and abrasion. Some of the prominent brands under this segment include, 1MM, Slimline and Opulenza. The exterior range of laminates is retailed under the brand name Exteria. CenturyVeneers has some of the most exotic ranges of natural and reconstituted veeners under the retail brands NatzuraWoods and SenzuraStyles.
