koheesti Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I have a friend who currently has wooden items produced in a factory in China and exported to Russia. Items such as; wooden picture frames, wooden hangers, and kitchen stuff (cutting boards, spoons, spatulas, etc). He is open to the possibility of moving production from China to Thailand. He will be coming to Thailand in the first quarter of 2008 and is interested in contacting some factories which might qualify. As for quantity he generally buys 62 cubic meters or 24 metric tons. Anyone know of any or can suggest where to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raro Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 As for teak wood, make sure that the manufacturer has all licenses for export in place! They might tell you all "no problem, no problem" but in fact it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
