Wood Species
The Beginning
Born and raised in Trentino, Italy, in a valley with 60 million trees, we have a natural affinity for our raw material. We are enthusiastic supporters of the Il Legno di Fiemme Consortium, an organisation created to protect Fiemme’s natural heritage, which is part of our DNA.
As a small company, we were able to use local wood species to make our products. Now that Valfiemme has grown internationally, we take care of the land in other ways because our need for timber, together with other companies’ needs, would be too much for the valley to sustain.
For this reason, in recent years, we have been sourcing from large Austrian forests, cousins to the woods of the Fiemme Valley and equally lush and healthy. Responsibly managed and PEFC certified, these forests are capable of sustaining the quantity and quality we need to consistently provide the best production performance and continue to meet deadlines.
We are also investing in the large, robust, healthy larch forests of Siberia as another supply channel.
