DLH-Nordisk says it is the first company to be able to offer Verified Legal Origin (VLO) merbau from Indonesia to international markets.
It follows the award of a SmartWood certificate of legal origin with chain of custody for the supply chain of a Papuan concession near Kaimana and the woodworking industry of PT Karya Guna Ekatama near Surabaya.
A second supply chain of PT Agung Kharisma, a manufacturer of Bangkirai (balau) moulding products in Surbaya and PT Tingang Karya Mandiri, a concession in central Kalimantan, is expected to pass Smartwood VLO verification soon, further improving DLH’s market position for the VLO product.
