What matters in forest products trading

Forest product flows require precise alignment of the assortment, quality, packaging, mode of transport, export documents, and the consignee's infrastructure.

  1. A broad product portfolio

    We work with plywood, lumber, engineered wood, OSB, pellets, and briquettes, as well as various formats of boards, beams, and structural materials.

  2. Supply chain control

    The confirmed model implies vertical integration, in-house logistics, and control of product movement from the sawmill to the port or another agreed node.

  3. Export and the Russian market

    We arrange exports to China, Korea, Japan, and the Middle East, as well as domestic Russian distribution along agreed routes.

  4. Market requirements

    For applicable products and markets, we account for FSC certification and compliance requirements, including EPA and CARB, when they apply to a specific product.

What cargo we carry

The assortment includes confirmed forest product categories. The exact specification, grade, moisture content, and packaging format are agreed for each individual shipment.
