The Company

Why was Blue Roots founded?

Blue Roots Timber was founded because we saw a growing demand for premium sustainable timber. As the demand for first-class sustainable timber and care for the environment increased, so did the need for great service and trust.

When we saw this happening we had full trust that we were the entrepreneurs that could meet this need.

Even more needed.

With an increasing world population, the request for timber is increasing. But regretfully this does not mean that premium quality and service will grow at the same rate, rate, some businesses might promise.

More than anyone we understand that not meeting expectations can lead to delay, loss of trust, and damage to business reputation.

Philosophy

Blue Roots views

Blue Roots Timber headquarters is based in Malaysia, in the heart of Southeast Asia. The company was founded in 2013.

After years of experience, we saw an opportunity in the market for genuinely sustainable timber from start to finish – selecting sustainably logged timber, producing it into products and semi-finished products and transporting it to its final destination.

Our main focus is exporting value-added sustainable timber products into the European and North American markets. To achieve the best results, we rely on our great team of people, in whom we have faith to be running Blue Roots.
Investing in our people is part of our goal as we believe it fosters trust and effort.

We believe a major reason to exist is how we focus on sustainable timber products, which are carefully selected through forest concessions worldwide.
