Who we are

ESPEN was founded in 1992 as a timber merchant for specialty woods . Our customers include manufacturers of furniture, musical instruments, wood turners, knife makers, etc. We only trade and process solid wood from controlled, i.e. FSC-certified forests. We currently stock 110 types of wood. Regional customers account for 1/3 of sales and supra-regional or international customers for 2/3.
