Trading hardwood lumber and logs across international borders can be risky business. Every aspect of a business transaction can be a challenge to the inexperienced – product quality & consistency, shipment timeliness, a common understanding of specifications and countless other variables can come into question.
Midwest Hardwood Corp. has been trading hardwood products in international markets for nearly 30 years, as manufacturers, as sellers and as buyers. Our sales representatives and traders are trained and experienced lumbermen. We know logs and lumber. We understand what’s important to our customers in manufacturing and distribution around the world. We deal with international logistics and finance every day. When a challenge arises our people know how to respond quickly and effectively.
We also know how important experience and trust are to successful international partnerships. We maintain several sales offices around the world to allow a better understanding of our customer’s needs and a higher level of service. Our sales managers travel throughout the world regularly to meet face to face with our customers and see first-hand their individual requirements.
When possible we tailor our products to our customer’s local requirements. Metric measurements, special sawing methods, smaller bundle sizes and customized kiln schedules are just a few examples of the modifications we can do when our customers ask.
