Thaweephan Wood Products Company Limited

Founded in 1955 in Thailand's northern Chiang Mai province, Thaweephan began life supplying teak timber to domestic and foreign markets, using highly trained elephants and their mahouts to move lumber across the jungle-covered, rugged terrain.

Since then, Thaweephan has been an industry leader. We pioneered the use in Thailand of American kiln drying, non-harmful preservative chemicals, and specialist machining tools. Moving into crafted wood products, our range expanded rapidly to encompass floors, windows, doors, decorative interior paneling, and wooden homes.

Thaweephan was one of the first companies to respond to concerns over deforestation in Thailand, shutting down its forestry operation in the early 1970s. We turned instead to timber processing and high-quality products manufactured from wood sourced in the global market.

Four generations later, we're still a family-owned and run business specialising in high-quality hardwood products, traditional and modern modular housing, and heritage restoration services.
