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 timber industry, Timber Exchange was founded to streamline supply chains and eliminate bottlenecks in the industry. We are committed to supporting stakeholders globally with timber market data, automation, and outsourcing to enhance timber trade operations.
