TimberExchange

How Did Our Journey Start

“I come from a family with a 50-year history in the timber industry, where I managed the supply chain and global logistics to clients in the US, MENA & Far East. I came to appreciate the vital role that wood plays in our everyday lives. In Sweden, wood contributes to 10% of all exports and jobs.

However, this experience has also made me aware of the timber industry's vulnerability to disruptions and volatility, which can have a significant impact on sawmills, distributors and industrial end-users like pallet, furniture and bed manufacturers.” - Amir Rashad, CEO/Founder

With a deep understanding of the global timber industry, Timber Exchange was founded to create transparency and intelligence in the global timber trade. Today, we provide the tools and data needed to understand market movements, anticipate changes, and make informed decisions with confidence.
