Philippine Wood species versus legal and sustainable imported wood

Philippine Wood vs Sustainable Imported Wood

Philippine wood species versus legal and sustainable imported wood

Logging in the natural forests of the Philippines has been banned for more than 20 years as a measure to compensate for the over-logging that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. This ban was put in place to allow the natural forest to regrow and recover. The goal is to eventually establish a sustainable and verifiable logging and wood processing industry in the Philippines.

FILTRA Timber is a company that provides legal and sustainable alternatives to the Philippines. They have a range of imported wood species that can be used in place of similar Philippine wood, including wood for furniture, flooring, joinery, and gift items. The company is committed to ensuring that its wood is affordable and sustainable and that the origin of the wood can be proven for export purposes. They are willing to work with clients to find the right wood for their specific needs and at any price range.

The company ensures that these alternatives are available for quick delivery. We also have a range of additional wood species available and are willing to work with clients to find the right wood for their specific needs and at any price range. The main goal of the company is to find the right wood for the right purpose while being affordable and sustainable.

We have a range of additional wood species available also, and you are always welcome to ask us for a recommendation. We have wood for any purpose, at any price range. It is all about finding the right wood for the right purpose.

FIBA World Cup brings Philippine Ambassador to Danish floor manufacturer : ‘Junckers impressed me’

FIBA World Cup brings Philippine Ambassador to Danish floor manufacturer : ‘Junckers impressed me’

Denmark: Danish floor manufacturer Junckers recently hosted Leo Herrera-Lim, the Philippine ambassador to Denmark, at their headquarters in Køge, Zealand. During the visit, Ambassador Herrera-Lim was given a tour of the factory where Junckers produces hardwood basketball floors for the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup, which will be held in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia this year.

“I’m glad to visit Junckers because they are a partner of the Philippines in hosting FIBA’s World Cup in 2023,” says Leo Herrera-Lim, the Philippine ambassador to Denmark. “In the short time I have spent here, Junckers has impressed me with their wood production. It’s some of the best I’ve seen in the world,” the Ambassador adds.

Back in 2021, Junckers signed a long-term agreement with FIBA, the International Basketball Federation, to serve as a ‘Global Supplier of Wood’ until 2024. Since signing the agreement, the company has supplied its latest generation of portable sports floors to the 2022 FIBA EuroBasket tournament. This year, the world’s best basketball players will step onto Junckers’ high-performing sports floors for the FIBA Basketball World Cup, which is co-hosted by the Philippines and will be held through late August and early September. Junckers is represented in the Philippines by FILTRA Timber (www.filtratimber.com) which has already installed a number of Junckers flooring in the Philippines, and carries inventory for quick delivery.

“The Filipinos are crazy about basketball,” Ambassador Leo Herrera-Lim explains. “That’s why we’re so excited to host the FIBA World Cup. It’s a rare opportunity and it will showcase the country and how much we admire the best players in basketball and appreciate being one of the competitors in the tournament.”

An important meeting

Besides a tour of the factory, Lars Gjødsbøl, CEO of Junckers, set aside time to introduce the Ambassador to the company and its strategy. Lars Gjødsbøl was pleased with the visit and felt very positive about the interest shown by the Ambassador. When asked about it, he commented:

“The meeting is extremely important because it taps into one of our focus segments, sports, and concerns a region where we see large growth potential. Furthermore, it builds on our investments in FIBA cooperation and our sponsorship of the FIBA World Cup in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia.”
