Our wide range of Products:
Since its inception, Sumanglam Wood’s primary focus has been sourcing top-quality timber. In the early 1990s, we expanded our operations to include timber imports from various global regions, including New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Ecuador, Colombia, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Malaysia, among others.
We also set up a network of warehouses after establishing our manufacturing facility in Gujarat. Our strategically located warehouses facilitate the trade of a wide range of products, including plywood, doors, and shutters. The success of our company can be attributed to its ability to establish itself as a niche player in the wholesale timber market of India within a relatively short period of time. We developed an extensive customer base by establishing wholesale units and establishing partnerships in five major Indian cities, serving wholesalers as well as leading developers in the country.
