A reliable partner

Built to be a long-term partner.

Not a marketplace you log into and hope. A trading team you can rely on month after month.

Scales with you

From a single trial truck to weekly volume across multiple product lines. The network flexes around your ramp-up without renegotiating with every new sawmill.

Consistent supply

Demand fluctuations, weather events, and regional disruptions are absorbed by the network, not passed to you. One partner goes offline, another picks up.

A real trading team

Long-term relationships with every sawmill in the network. When something goes wrong on an order, we are the first call, and the last.

How we vet suppliers

Every sawmill, properly vetted.

Selection criteria sit on quality, compliance, reliability and geography, not on a supplier directory pulled off the internet.

Quality
Physical visits, audit of grading consistency, and review of prior shipments before a sawmill enters the network.
Compliance
FSC or PEFC certification, ISPM15 treatment capability where relevant, and full EUDR geodata workflow in place.
Reliability
Production stability and delivery-on-time history matter as much as price. We test before we scale.
Geographic coverage
Deliberate spread across DACH, Nordics, Baltics, Balkans, Hardwood and Exotic, so supply is resilient to regional shocks.
The process

From discovery to long-term partner.

A structured process for every sawmill we bring into the network, regardless of size or region.

1

Discovery

We identify candidate sawmills that fit specific product and region gaps in the network. We do not onboard speculatively.

2

On-site visit

A trader visits the site to assess production capability, grading consistency, and working conditions firsthand.

3

Compliance & certification

FSC or PEFC, ISPM15 capability, and EUDR geodata workflow are confirmed before the first order.

4

Trial order

A limited-scope trial order validates real-world execution: grading, packaging, documentation, timeliness.

5

Ongoing relationship

Onboarded sawmills are actively managed with regular visits, structured feedback, and shared forecasts.

Competitive quoting

Not just access. The right match, every time.

We run your request across the relevant part of the network, compare offers, and come back with the most competitive one, with the context behind it.

FAQ

Got a question? We probably answered it.

Common questions about how the network works, for buyers and for sawmills considering joining us.

How do you select the sawmills in the network?
Every sawmill is vetted in person before joining the network. We assess grading consistency, production stability, certification (FSC or PEFC), EUDR workflow, and working conditions. A trial order validates execution before any scale-up.
Can I work directly with a specific sawmill in the network?
You work with your dedicated Arbo Avi trader. They match your enquiry to the right sawmill and manage the relationship end-to-end. This is how we keep quality consistent and execution reliable across the network.
What if my product or region is not in your current mix?
Tell us. We actively add sawmills to fill product and region gaps, not opportunistically. If there is consistent demand, we will go and vet candidate partners.
Are you a supplier? How do I join?
Start with a short conversation. We look at production capability, certification status, and geographic fit, then visit in person before onboarding. Sign up here and our team will reach out.
