MBM Forest Products

What MBM Forest Products does

Falcon Timber Ltd. is a UK-based importer, distributor, and solutions specialist for wood-based panel products and timber, operating as a subsidiary of the Consolidated Timber Holdings (CTH) group. Founded circa 1990 and claiming 35 years of industry presence, the company positions itself as one of the UK's largest panel and timber providers, serving four customer segments: general merchants, specialist timber merchants, end users, and specifiers/architects. Distribution is conducted through a network of strategically located depots enabling nationwide UK delivery with FORS-registered fleet operations.

The product portfolio spans approximately 50+ SKUs organized into multiple categories: proprietary STRE-branded engineered products (plug-free birch/poplar plywood, door cores, solid timber core door blanks, decorative wall panels, loft solutions, matching veneers, frames); standard panels (OSB, MDF, chipboard, plywood); structural softwood (TR26, CLS, treated battens); engineered wood (I-Joist, LVL, KVH, GLULAM, joinery solutions); Canadian timbers (Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Western Larch); thermally modified timbers including Abodo, Lunawood, Thermo Ash, IMBUE; pre-painted cladding; landscaping products (composite decking and cladding, sleepers, fencing); fire retardant products meeting Euroclass standards; and door systems/components (DUOCORE, FLAMEBREAK, MORALT series, RAMKOR, Warm Springs). In-house manufacturing supports STREloft, STREwall, and select engineered products, with a dedicated Door Technical Facility in Queensferry providing testing capabilities.

The business model is traditional B2B distribution with quote-based pricing, no public price disclosure, and revenue generated through one-time product sales to resellers and direct customers. The company holds 15+ registered trademarks, FORS fleet certification, and Euroclass fire retardant compliance. Recent strategic activity in 2025 includes appointment as UK distributor for Abodo thermally modified timber, opening of the Queensferry Door Technical Facility, and recognition as Panels Trader of the Year at the TTJ Awards 2025.
