What we do
We supply birch rotary-cut veneer made in Udmurtia to plywood, LVL, packaging and furniture producers in Turkey. Our role in the chain is not manufacturing but the commercial and technical bridge between the mill and the Turkish buyer: format selection, container calculation, customs paperwork, the payment channel and shipment follow-up.
We are based in Turkey. In practice that means three things.
- Turkish number, Turkish hours. Your message is answered the same day, within working hours. The single most common complaint about buying from Russia is the time difference and answers that arrive too late.
- Technical discussion in Turkish. Moisture, grading, press parameters — these are exactly the subjects that generate mistakes when they are discussed through a translator.
- The ability to verify things locally. If something has to be confirmed on customs, transport or a document, it can be done here in Turkey.
The production site
| Location | Udmurt Republic, Russia |
| Raw material | Local birch (Betula) logs |
| Product | Rotary-cut veneer, 0.9–1.7 mm |
| Formats | 2600 × 1300, 1600 × 1600, 1300 × 1300 mm; 420 × 420 mm pre-cut blanks |
| Moisture content | 5–8% |
| Dispatch | Direct loading into the railcar from the site’s own rail siding |
| Railcar capacity | 102 m³ |
The rail siding is the most practical line in that table: the veneer is loaded from the site straight into the railcar. With no intermediate warehouse and no extra handling step, both the cost and the risk of damaged bundles come down. The production process step by step is on the production page.
What we do not do
When you are assessing a supplier, knowing what they do not do is worth exactly as much as knowing what they do.
| We do not | Reason |
|---|---|
| Ship to the EU | Regulation 833/2014, Annex XXI: Chapter 44 wood of Russian origin has been banned from import since 10 July 2022. Re-export through Turkey does not change the origin |
| Provide an FSC certificate | FSC has been suspended in Russia since 8 April 2022. A document said to have been issued later is not valid |
| Sell sliced decorative veneer | A different product made by a different method; we do not have it |
| Give a binding price guarantee | The exchange rate, freight and log prices move at different speeds. The list price always carries a date; the firm price is fixed in the contract |
| Ship immediately from stock | Production and dispatch run to a plan; lead time is 22–35 days depending on the route |
What our openness actually consists of
The word «transparency» gets used a great deal in this trade and usually means nothing. On our side it comes down to four concrete things.
- The price list is open and dated. The price per cubic metre, the date it applies from and the exchange rate assumption behind it are written on the site — see the prices page.
- Freight is quoted as a range, not as a single number. We publish an upper and a lower bound per route, because one number here would not be realistic.
- Duty and tax are calculated per shipment. Customs duty, KDV and KKDF are worked out inside the quotation for your volume, route and payment terms.
- Grading is given as a number. Not «high quality», but: in a mixed grade 1–4 lot the grade 1–2 share is 22–27%.
How we work
- Requirement. Format, thickness, cubic metres per month and the port of destination.
- Offer. CIF price, lead time and container calculation — usually the same day.
- Sample. Quality and moisture verified before the first shipment.
- Contract. GTİP (Turkish customs tariff code), species, grade, moisture band, delivery terms, currency, payment terms.
- Shipment. Loading photographs, the measurement record, shipping documents, the bill of lading and follow-up until arrival.
The first order is walked through step by step in the import guide.
