Hand Cutting

Cork planks are hand-cut into strips within 24 hours of completing the Ganau Revolution cleaning process, preventing an unnecessary waiting period at high moisture levels which can lead to mold growth and possible contamination. After passing visual inspection, the strips are hand-cut by skilled employees, first into squares and then into cylindrical natural corks. The excess material created during the production of natural corks and discs is subsequently broken down into granules to be later molded into agglomerated corks.
