At Carmo Wood, we dedicate ourselves to working with the richness of pine forests. The wood we select is chosen meticulously to ensure its quality, durability, and beauty.

We combine our scientific knowledge with cutting-edge technology to ensure that the wood we use and purchase comes from sustainable sources, thus contributing to conscious forest thinning and the preservation of our forests.

Did you know that the type of cutting can directly influence the sustainability of the forest and the quality of the wood?

In forest exploitation, a well-executed cut is more than just a technique - it is a strategy to maximize the value of the wood and generate revenue for the owners, in a sustainable way. Unlike clear-cutting, where the entire forest is cut without considering ecological balance, Carmo adopts a careful and sustainable method.

Our forest cutting is done selectively, allowing some trees to be harvested while others are left to grow without competition. This method brings multiple benefits, such as promoting forest cleaning, preventing fires, and developing a healthy forest over time.

Our purchasing team is composed of professionals with training in forestry engineering. Their specialized knowledge in the field ensures that we select the best sources of supply and carry out efficient wood procurement through manual or mechanized cutting.

We are present daily throughout the Iberian, Nordic, and Brazilian territories, where we establish strong relationships with owners committed to sustainability. To guarantee the quality of our end product, we have dedicated cutting teams supported by specialized machines.

This vertically integrated approach to forestry exploitation allows us to control the entire process, from tree selection to the production of our high-quality products.

At Carmo Wood, we offer a unique approach to forestry that combines sustainability and profitability. Our selective cuts are designed to ensure not only immediate profits but also long-term returns. We carefully select trees, allowing the remaining ones to grow healthy and competitive, ensuring a constant supply of wood.

In addition, we take care of the environment we explore. Our forest cleaning practice not only creates a safe space and prevents fires, but also promotes the healthy development of the remaining trees. This approach brings several long-term advantages.

Our team of experts in purchasing and cutting accurately selects the trees for cutting and supervises the process to ensure maximum efficiency and quality. With dedicated cutting teams and specialized equipment, we maintain an optimized process.

Trust in Carmo Wood: our reputation is built on transparency, commitment, and respect for the well-being of our partners. As a reliable company, we believe in long-lasting partnerships and mutual benefits.

Technical competence is one of the fundamental pillars of Carmo Wood's work. We have a dedicated and specialized team in forest exploration, strategically divided by geographical area, to ensure a closer proximity to our customers.

Our professionals, with extensive experience in forest exploration and a great respect for nature, are ready to take care of your forest and provide excellent support.

By producing products such as furniture and wooden structures, we actively contribute to the retention of carbon for decades. Wood is an excellent way to store carbon removed from the atmosphere during tree growth, thus helping to mitigate climate change.

Our sustainable approach ensures that the carbon footprint is minimized, from the forest to the final product. Thanks to the quality of our products, we bring the natural beauty of wood to over 43 countries, sharing the environmental and aesthetic benefits with people around the world.
