About us
In an important measure to organize and strengthen the supply chain of raw materials for the wood industry, the Association of Importers of Wood, Boards and Raw Materials for the Wood Industry was established pursuant to Article 131 of the Labor Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in order to protect the legitimate and legal rights and interests and improve the economic situation of importers, which themselves also ensure the protection of the interests of society. It was officially and legally registered with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs under number 96391 dated 04/23/1403.
We hope that the establishment of this association will promise a bright future for the country’s wood industry.
Supporting domestic producers and facilitating trade relations
The association also strives to improve the quality of domestic products and increase their competitiveness in the market by establishing effective connections between importers and domestic producers. On the other hand, by establishing connections with similar associations in other countries, it will also help facilitate trade relations and increase the volume of imports of quality and reasonably priced raw materials.
