Strategic Sourcing Partner
Wood Supply Across Sources and Markets
Our team brings more than twenty years of wood component and supply chain experience. This describes industry experience, rather than the incorporation age of the company. Devine Courtly coordinates product sourcing and supply arrangements with producing suppliers. The company, its team and the producing factories have distinct roles; production location and shipment arrangements are agreed per product.
Product-Specific Supply Routes
Material source, production location, export point, trade origin and warehouse location are separate parts of each supply arrangement.
Malaysia
Paulownia from Malaysian plantations with local production in Malaysia. This is a separate supply route from China.
Eastern Europe
Birch products can ship from Eastern Europe. The country, product range and shipment arrangements are confirmed for each enquiry.
Cincinnati Services by Arrangement
Warehousing, distribution and replenishment may be arranged for applicable supply programmes. Cincinnati is not the dispatch location for every product. Transport, customs responsibilities and delivery terms are agreed for each order.
- Warehousing and distribution by arrangement
- Replenishment for applicable supply programmes
- Availability and delivery timing confirmed per order
Quality Requirements by Product and Order
Agree material structure, dimensions, moisture requirements, finish and inspection scope with the producing supplier for each product and order. Supporting documentation should match the material and intended market.
Grades, tolerances and test requirements are recorded in the agreed product specification. There is no single moisture range, inspection percentage or machining tolerance for the entire range.
Material Compliance
CARB / TSCA requirements depend on the material structure and intended market. Request applicable product documentation before ordering.
Certification Documents
Any FSC claim requires verification of the certificate holder, current scope and status, and the claim for the specific product. Certification is not assumed across the range.
Our Process
Manufacturing Excellence
