Amazonas CEO Michael Ibar "Sitco Lumber ordered an initial $6,860,000 in Ipe and Jatoba, which represents not only a diversification of species for Amazonas, it also represents a diversification of Amazonas' products and client base, this being Amazonas' first order for hardwood flooring blanks and first in the United States."
"We're excited about working with Sitco, and we're confident that the quality of our products will lead to continued partnership for our exotic hardwood species," said Amazonas CEO Michael Ibar. "Moreover, the order for this species gives us more flexibility when pursuing forest management plans, as it makes more inventory commercially viable for us as we pursue our position as leaders not just in quality timber products but also in responsible, eco-friendly forest management practices."
