Woodemark Corporation is a wood products trading company based in Taichung, TAIWAN. Taiwan has been a major importer and consumer of hardwoods for over 25 years. There is an extensive network of importers, exporters, sub-contractors, woodworking machinery makers, and technicians, similar to the situation in Italy. Many larger furniture, toy, and accessories makers have moved to mainland China, but most still have headquarters in Taiwan.

Woodemark Corporation is in the enviable position of having a ready market for raw inputs, both within Taiwan and for transplanted factories in mainland China and throughout SE Asian, including Vietnam. We also have enviable access to semi-finished products such as dimension stock (friesen), edge glued panels (leimholzplatten) both straight and finger jointed, unfinished furniture parts, and flooring elements.

Almost any and all species you can imagine are available in Taiwan.

Unlike most trading companies in Asia, Woodemark Corporation is run by a US expatriate who speak, reads, and writes Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Hokkien (Taiwanese). All staff speak at least Mandarin, Hokkien, and English, and most have backgrounds in the hardwood business. You should find communications with Woodemark refreshing, not only from the language aspect, but also from the lumber knowledge aspect.
