A long time ago (40 years or so), in a place far, far away (Elkhart, Indiana), there lived a bunch of businesses that relied on a simple product: lauan plywood.

That’s where our story begins. The hero of our tale, Azdel the Great, doesn’t arrive until later: 2006, to be precise.

And plot spoiler alert: Azdel IS definitely the hero of this story. It’s the shining knight of RV construction: lightweight, waterproof, recyclable.
