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
