Izabal Wood Company

IWC focuses on avoiding deforestation in the first place and reversing the degradation of existing forests. It does so by producing income for private forest owners to guarantee the integrity and health of their forests. The company partners with landowners to sustainably manage their forestland, utilizing cutting-edge silvicultural practices and technologies to ensure that harvests are low impact and timber is fully traceable. The company has adopted bylaws mandating the certification of the forests it manages, providing accountability to its shareholders and customers. 

IWC uses high quality equipment to mill, dry and machine products for use in fine furniture, flooring and heavy construction.

Our philosophy is to manage our companies with the highest environmental standards, we believe that business economics and ecology should be complementary.
