Testing tomorrow’s species<br />

Looking to enhance our customers’ projects with<br />

more choice and quality products, we have carefully<br />

selected a number of promotional species (also<br />

referred to as secondary species or lesser known<br />

species), out of the hundreds that are present in our<br />

forest, such as Andok (Irvingia gabonensis), Emien<br />

(Alstonia boonei), Etimoe (Copaifera mildbraedii) and<br />

Iatandza (Albizia ferruginea). Together with ATIBT and<br />

recognized laboratories, we carry out rigorous<br />

research to test how each selected species<br />

responds, subject to certain conditions and end-uses.<br />

Releasing commercial pressure on traditionally<br />

traded species is crucial, in order to keep the forest<br />

intact. At the same time, those tests ensure that<br />

customers are offered quality wood, without<br />

compromising on performance.<br />
