Core offering

European Wood Corporation exports European hardwood logs, softwood logs, and sawn lumber sourced from forests across Denmark, Germany, Sweden, France, and Switzerland to international buyers (primarily in Asia and secondarily in Europe), shipped CIF in 40' containers. The company complements its physical product lines with forest inspection, export logistics, and FSC/PEFC certification services, handling the full export workflow from sourcing to documentation.

Product overview

European Wood Corporation (EWC) is a wood export company offering a portfolio of wood products centered around three core offerings: hardwood logs (Oak, Ash, Sycamore, Beech, Poplar), softwood logs (Spruce, Pine, Fir), and lumber across multiple European hardwood species. The products are complemented by three key services: inspection (foresters who control, grade, select and measure logs), logistics (transport, loading, export documentation, Letter of Credit handling), and certification services (FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody). All logs are loaded into 40' containers and shipped CIF, primarily to Asian markets.
