our foundations<br />
Interholco (IHC) is a leading<br />
producer of African wood<br />
sustainably harvested in the<br />
Congo Basin. Through its<br />
subsidiary Industrie Forestière<br />
d'Ouesso (IFO) in the Republic of<br />
Congo (ROC), it manages the<br />
largest contiguous forest<br />
concession for timber in the<br />
tropics (1.16 million hectares)<br />
that is fully certified by the Forest<br />
Stewardship Council<br />
(FSC C122325).<br />
This certification assures that<br />
the forest is well managed, i.e.<br />
environmentally responsible,<br />
socially beneficial and<br />
economically viable.<br />
Interholco is active in Africa since<br />
1962. With a wealth of experience<br />
accumulated, Interholco is<br />
determined to be a social,<br />
environmental and economic<br />
leader in Congo Basin forest<br />
management. Our production in<br />
ROC is paired with distribution of<br />
wood products around the world.<br />
Our own logistics company,<br />
Logistique Congo Cameroun<br />
(LCC), is based in Cameroon.<br />
Throughout our forest<br />
concession over 16'000 people<br />
live in more than 80 villages.<br />
We harvest an average of 0.5<br />
trees per hectare and process<br />
approximately 220’000 m 3 of<br />
more than 20 different<br />
hardwood species. We supply<br />
logs, lumber and semi-finished<br />
products to over 400<br />
customers in more than 55<br />
countries.<br />
