Operations
From the forest to the world.
With a fully integrated supply chain, AVIDES turns certified tropical timber into high value-added products, combining technology, precision and responsibility at every stage.
AVIDES operations
Avides controls the entire chain, from the forest to delivery to the client.
A fully integrated chain. A commitment that begins in the forest and ends at delivery. At AVIDES, quality is born at the source. Before reaching the industry, every stage already follows technical planning based on sustainable forest management in the Amazon.
Our operation is fully vertically integrated, bringing together every phase of the supply chain — from forest planning to extraction, transport, processing, industrialization, logistics and delivery to the end client. This integration ensures traceability, standardization, operational efficiency and the confidence of a responsible origin in every product bearing the AVIDES brand.

Our Forest
It all begins in areas of Amazon rainforest managed in a sustainable way.
AVIDES operates across thousands of hectares, between public forest concessions and partner community areas. Every tree is part of an ecosystem carefully studied even before any intervention.
Our forest is not a resource to be exploited. It is a living heritage that must keep existing for the coming generations.
Planning
Before the first tree is selected, there is a long technical effort.
Engineers, specialists and field teams carry out complete forest inventories, identifying species, available volumes, preservation areas, watercourses, biodiversity and access routes.
Every operation is planned to cause the lowest possible impact on the environment, ensuring a balance between production and conservation.
Sustainable Management
Sustainable management is the principle that guides all of AVIDES’ operation.
Extraction follows scientific criteria, controlled cutting cycles and continuous forest monitoring, allowing its natural regeneration and ensuring the ecosystem stays healthy and productive over time.
More than meeting legal requirements, sustainable management is a permanent commitment to preserving the Amazon.
Harvest
Every selected tree is harvested using low-impact techniques.
Controlling species, volumes and cutting areas reduces damage to the remaining vegetation, preserves the soil and protects the forest’s natural resources.
The whole process remains documented and traceable from the origin.
River Transport
The Amazon rivers are part of our logistics.
After extraction, timber travels by river transport to the industrial units, using an efficient solution suited to the characteristics of the Amazon region.
This integration between forest and logistics ensures safety, operational continuity and lower environmental impact.
Processing
On reaching the industry, the raw material goes through a series of technical processes.
Controlled sorting, grading, cutting, inspection and preparation set dimensional stability, standardization and top quality before transformation into final products.
Each batch keeps its completely sustainable origin.
Industry
It is in the industry that technical knowledge meets technology.
AVIDES brings together high-performance equipment, automated processes and rigorous quality controls to turn Amazon timber into high-standard solutions for different applications.
Industrial mastery ensures precision, repeatability and reliability in every project.
Export
Our operation connects the Amazon to international markets.
All documentation, certifications, logistics and export processes follow international standards, allowing our products to serve clients across different continents with safety and predictability.
From the forest to the port, every stage stays integrated within the same operational control.
Client
The result of this whole process reaches architects, builders, distributors, industries and business partners.
Every product delivered by AVIDES carries a proven origin, a transparent supply chain and the commitment to turn natural resources into sustainable development.
When a client chooses AVIDES, they receive far more than timber. They receive the assurance of knowing the whole story behind every piece.
From the forest to the client, we control every stage of the supply chain to ensure responsible origin, superior quality, full traceability and sustainability through sustainable forest management.
