Proven Durability: Tali Against Time and Weather

10.09.2025. As autumn approaches, some parts of the world face harsher weather conditions. These are the moments when outdoor materials reveal their true colours.

After 12 years of exposure to Belgium’s weather, Tali (Erythrophleum ivorense, Erythrophleum suaveolens) stands as a natural performer — untreated, yet reliably meeting market expectations.

Cumaru and Ipe: CITES Constraints, Tali’s Consistency

03.09.2025. It’s no secret. As soon as a timber species is added to the scope of CITES, a familiar pattern sets in: tighter trade controls, reduced availability, complex compliance.

For professionals who rely on performance-grade hardwoods like Cumaru and Ipe, this reality is more than a regulatory shift — it’s a supply chain risk.

#WhyWoodMatters: Meeting rising scrutiny with traceability and external proof

18.06.2025. With growing regulatory pressure, particularly from the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and CITES, processors must ensure that their wood supply complies with legal and ethical sourcing standards.

Pain Point: Uncertified timber, particularly species listed under the CITES Annexes, struggle to enter markets due to strict laws and regulations such as the EUDR.

Solution: Our African hardwoods are sourced from FSC and PEFC-certified forests where we put in place careful harvesting practices.
