PROCESS FLOW

  • EXTRACTION

    The Rubber Trees are felled when their productivity yields start to decrease. We use wood only from voluntary renewable plantations, guaranteeing traceability and legality in the supply chain. We comply with all environmental regulations in Guatemala.

    EXTRACTION

  • RECEPTION

    The woods logs are unloaded into the reception patio and are classified and measured by their length, width, and radius.

    RECEPTION

  • SAWMILL

    We transform the Rubber Tree´s logs into commercial measures using state-of-the-art machinery.

    SAWMILL

  • VACUUM

    We add non-carcinogenic chemicals in a vacuum process to protect the wood from fungi and insects; getting a wood ideal for indoor furniture.

    VACUUM

  • Kiln Drying

    Using Italian high-tech drying chambers, Nardi and Secal, we lower the moisture content of the wood to 6% MC.
