INTERHOLCO’s sales team celebrated the company's 60th anniversary on this exceptional stage over the course of three days, from 1 to 3 June. INTERHOLCO’s stand saw a steady flow of trusted customers and project partners stopping by for a meet-and-greet. Sawn timber, boules, finger-jointed laminated scantlings, decking solutions, and of course promotional species, all proudly harvested and Made in Africa with FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council® FSC® C022952) certification, came together under one roof, to the delight of visitors .

Another highlight was the Forum held by ATIBT (International Tropical Timber Technical Association) during the timber show. INTERHOLCO is one of ATIBT’s members and bearer of the 'Fair&Precious' brand and its 10 commitments. INTERHOLCO had the honour of welcoming Her Excellency the Minister of Forest Economy of the Republic of Congo, Mrs Matondo, to its stand. The Minister gave an interesting presentation on developments in the timber sector in Congo at the ATIBT Forum.
With its concept 100% wood, Carrefour du bois is Europe’s leading timber tradeshow, organised every 2 years in Nantes (France) by the trade for the trade (Fibois Pays de la Loire and The Grand Maritime Port de Nantes Saint Nazaire).

Once again, this key event in the timber sector confirms its role as the event that is not to be missed for all the trade. A place to exchange information: be it about the market, the latest tendencies, new products etc., it is an excellent barometer.
Construction, architecture and design: wood is under the spotlight and ‘Sustainable hardwood - Made in Africa' steals the show. INTERHOLCO's wood products, with their upscaled range, turn heads – effortlessly.
Thank you all! See you in 2024!
