We fix the chain—from forest to delivery
What We Do
The Problem: A Broken Industry
Imagine:
- A luxury yacht builder in Dubai delays a launch because timber shipments are trapped in fragmented supply chains.
- A Surinamese forestry worker harvests trees for decades but sees no reinvestment in his village’s crumbling school.
- The Hardwood Trade’s Three Failures.
- The Transparency Gap: Buyers gamble on untraceable timber. “Is this teak ethically sourced?” remains unanswered.
- The Community Divide: Profits vanish into corporate pockets, leaving workers and villages behind.
- The Reliability Trap: Delays and hidden costs erode trust and margins.

The Founders’ Story
Our Mission: Redefining the Hardwood Industry
Martin Cairo, raised in the shadow of Amsterdam’s global trade hub, and Eduard Bron, born into a family of Surinamese harvesters, met with a shared vision: to build bridges between forests and futures. Martin’s expertise in European logistics and Eduard’s generational forestry wisdom fuel a business where profit fuels progress.
Redefining the Hardwood Industry.
We exist to prove that profit and purpose can thrive together:
1. Premium Hardwood, Sustainably Sourced
Harvested from second-generation forests in Suriname, GPS-tracked and
certified for ecological balance.
2. Empowering Suriname’s Future
10% of profits fund local schools, renewable energy, and infrastructure,
turning every shipment into a legacy.
Now, we build bridges: between forests and global markets.
Forests thrive when communities do.
Eduard’s Belief
Trade should connect, not exploit.
