There is an old saying in Chinese,' See the Coffin, Make a Fortune.' Apparently it is the Chinese humourous way to avoid unfortunate things. Most people see coffin as unfortunate thing. But in north east China, there is a small town called Cao County, who treats coffin as fortune.It is indeed a great fortune for a small town to own 90 percent of the coffins sold in Japan. 90 percent of the coffins are made from paulownia wood, Cao county happens to be the world's largest paulownia processing center. Shandong Lanko Wood Co.,Ltd has been the biggest paulownia board manufacturer since 1990s.
Making coffin is not an easy job, it usually takes more than 30 processes to complete a coffin, and it is mostly done manually. Lankowood is one of the few fatories who have skillfull wood masters to make nice coffins.
