The history of humans is tied to the usage of wood and today it remains an omnipresent companion of everyday life. That teak is a wood of undisputed beauty and unique characteristics is well known but not always the quality of the wood is combined with the ethics of environmental protection. Novelteak is the largest FSC™certified teak producer and exporter in Central America and we are fully integrated from seed to final product. We guarantee regular availability, today and in the future, of large quantities of teak products -lumber, profiles, panels, and more- ensuring total compliance with FSC™ guidelines and European and North American regulations.

All teak wood used by Novelteak to produce FSC™certified finished products was first a seed we carefully selected from specific trees. The seed was nurtrured in our nursery until it was strong enough to be planted in recovered pasture lands. Before taking care of plantations for many years, we harvest and manufacture FSC™ certified teak products. Is then when we start the cycle again by planting around four seeds by every tree that is harvested, to ensure future availability of natural, authentic, beautifull and responsible grown teak.

Being FSC ™ certified is an election we make every day. Doing the right thing for the forest was the spark that moved our shareholders 28 years ago and is what move us today. We are proud to have our forest management programs, and industrial processes certified because it means that our impact is environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable. And that is good for all.More details: please visit www.novelteak.com/certifications
