We all know that wood adds warmth to our lives.  We specialize in solid wood products that enhance our shared living and working environments and bring the special touch of nature into our lives. 

To help our customers find just the right match, we stock nearly 100 species/products combinations (for example, over a dozen different Pine species in products such as lumber, flooring, and wall panel).  We are constantly developing new items and have introduced several different products and species to the Japanese market. Pictures of some of our featured products are available in our photogallery and more details of each product category is available below.

CUSTOMERS:  What we can offer you

Our primary market is the Japanese domestic market, but we also provide products for customers worldwide. In Japan, we sell throughout the country, and to a variety of customer types, including retailers, manufacturers, pre-manufactured home builders, furniture companies, and more. We do a great deal of work with architects, designers and homeowners, assisting in specifying species and products for high grade homes.   We stock a tremendous range of products, species, colors and can arrange for custom production of a nearly anything you can imagine in wood.   

Internationally, we work both with manufacturers, supplying raw material for their production, and with building products distributors in several countries who promote our branded product lines.  We also provide material for specific projects when the customer is seeking something far from the norm. 

Generally, we can offer any wood product, but specialize in the more unusual rather than the commodities such as plywood, or structural/pallet grades of lumber. We are most interested in high grade material in difficult specifications. From our world-wide sources, we also offer competitive substitutes for familiar species. Please provide us with a challenge!


SUPPLIERS:  Stocking programs and custom orders 

Our specific product lines for the Japanese residential construction market include rough and surfaced lumber and value-added material such as flooring, finger-jointed/laminated board, moulding, and wall panel products. We also handle several specialty fasteners and wood finishes. We are eager to develop new products and are always pleased to be introduced to new species options for a familiar product line. We are particularly interested in new technology that "upgrades" secondary species or lower grades wood and that improve the functionality in use.  

We are investigating, but do not currently purchase products such as overlaid moulding, windows, roofing, decking, siding, glulam, insulation, glass, stone or similar products used in construction. We welcome information about such products for our files and future purchasing options.

Although we can provide these products for custom orders domestically, we do not stock commodities such as plywood, OSB, MDF, or structural/pallet grades of lumber. We do not handle furniture, furniture parts or rattan products. If you supply such products, we are happy to add your name to our data base in case requirements arise.

We are happy to work with first time exporters/importers and for all purchases, we prefer to work directly with manufacturers.  For all supplier inquiries, we would appreciate seeing a company catalog or a current stock list outlining your production. Photographs of your facility and export packaging are also very helpful. Please outline any previous export experience, particularly to Japan. 

For the Japanese market: our preferred port is SHIMIZU, Japan. We usually purchase in 40' container load volumes (although some material ships in some 20' containers, particularly in the case of flooring.) We prefer pricing as CNF or CIF, Shimizu. Payment terms are either ordinary Irrevocable LC at sight or CAOD (Cash Against Original Documents). Bank References are available. Please be sure to send your address, phone and fax numbers, as well as an email contact.
