Control & accessibility

Quality assurance. To ensure our ability to deliver a quality poduct, we employ our own quality inspectors in every country of origin to carry out pre-delivery inspections at each sawmill. Additional quality controls are carried out when deliveries are made to our terminals: one on arrival and one during packing after drying. Our buyers visit all of our suppliers several times a year to safeguard quality and delivery performance.

The concept of top quality encompasses more than the properties of the wood. Just as important today is how the wood is harvested and where.
