SmartPly
OSB supporting the AFL

SmartPly OSB is proud to sponsor the Amateur Football League 2008-9.

The resource of experience and development, which the Amateur Football League through the Oscar Traynor Coaching and Development Centre and its amalgamated North Dublin Schoolboy/girls League provides for the combined membership of over 800 teams from as young as under seven to over 35's is vital not just to football, but also to communities across the country and beyond.

Similarly, SmartPly's parent company Coillte (which means 'forest' or 'small woodland' as Gaeilge) is sustainably developing another vital resource - Ireland's carefully managed certified forests - to create products which are used not just here, but across the world.

SmartPly OSB is Oriented Strand Board, made of three separate layers of wood strands mixed with resin, laid in different directions and compressed under heat to create super strong "OSB" boards. This process uses wood resources efficiently and SmartPly OSB can be used inside or out for anything from house building to the hoarding around building sites.

Forests & the environment

Coillte owns over 1 million acres of land, most of which is independently certified as environmentally sustainable forest. Coillte manages its forests and land in a way that maintains a balance between commercial success and environmental and social benefits.

Recreation

Coillte has ten Forest Parks and over 150 recreation sites that can be enjoyed all over the country, from Donegal to Cork and Galway to Dublin, including the exciting Lough Key Forest and Activity Park development in County Roscommon.

Community

Coillte works with the rural economy both directly and indirectly and participates in many community partnership projects, including the AFL, and with operations in almost every parish in Ireland we are a part of the fabric of that community.

Through its Irish manufactured OSB and MDF brands SmartPly and Medite, Coillte is at the cutting edge of science and technology, pushing their wood products harder and further every year.

Wood is the only naturally sustainable building material available and the processes creating SmartPly OSB makes it stronger, just as different processes create Medite MDF. But - like the AFL - grass-roots support and development is what makes us special.

You can find SmartPly OSB and Medite MDF at all good builders' providers.
