History
Pacific Forest was founded in 1999 by Guillermo Sánchez in Concepción, Chile. The company began by exporting Radiata Pine to international markets and steadily expanded its product range and geographic reach. Today, Pacific Forest sources wood products from across South America and serves buyers in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.
Mission
Pacific Forest connects South American forest resources with global buyers, operating as a commercial principal in every transaction. The company assumes full ownership of each shipment, ensuring consistent quality, reliable logistics, and complete documentation from origin to destination.
Location
Headquartered in Concepción, Chile, Pacific Forest operates across South America, working with producers and suppliers in multiple countries to build a diverse and reliable supply chain.
Certifications
Pacific Forest holds FSC Chain of Custody certification (FSC-C011355), valid through September 2029. The certification is independently verified and publicly accessible through the FSC certificate database at info.fsc.org. FSC Chain of Custody certification confirms that Pacific Forest maintains documented control over the origin and handling of forest products throughout its supply chain, from sourcing to export.
Operating Model
Pacific Forest operates as a commercial principal in every transaction — not as a broker, agent, or intermediary. The company takes full legal and financial ownership of each shipment, assumes responsibility for quality control, manages logistics from origin to destination port, and handles all export documentation independently.
This model means buyers transact directly with the asset owner and contract executor. There are no commission-based intermediaries between Pacific Forest and its suppliers or buyers. The company absorbs full operational and financial risk, providing buyers with a single, accountable counterpart for every order.
Product Scope
Pacific Forest exports sawn wood, logs, remanufactured timber, wood sheets, and tropical hardwoods. The company’s catalog covers both softwood and hardwood species sourced from South American plantations and natural forests.
Primary species include Radiata Pine, South American Pine (Pinus taeda and Pinus elliottii), Eucalyptus Regnans, Eucalyptus Grandis, plantation Teak, Cumaru, Garapa, Cumala, Curupaú, Cachimbo Blanco, and Marupa. Full technical specifications, densities, and available formats are documented in the species catalog.
Global Reach
Pacific Forest exports to buyers in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The company manages the complete export process from South American origin to destination port, including quality inspection, logistics coordination, and documentation for each market’s import requirements.
Pacific Forest serves as a direct export source for international timber importers requiring consistent volume, verified origin, and FSC-certified supply chain documentation.
