La historia

PER ALF VERNER JOHANSSON: Ecotopia Teak nació cuando nuestro fundador Alf Johansson fue contactado por un grupo de bancos para ofrecerle una grupo de plantaciones de teca las cuáles habían sido declaradas en quiebra. Tan pronto como visitó las plantaciones vio el potencial del negocio pero también el desconocimiento de la parte económica forestal a nivel local. Junto con un grupo de inversionistas levantaron los capitales necesarios para crear Ecotopia Teak Incorporated en 2005.

ALF MARTIN HERMAN JOHANSSON: Nació en una finca forestal, lo que le otorgó un conocimiento innato sobre el manejo de estos recursos. Ingeniero en Mecatrónica de profesión, cuando se adquirieron las plantaciones, Martin fue enviado a Darién para hacerse cargo de las operaciones forestales. Lo primero que hizo fue cambiar el mantenimiento al manejo que se le da en Suecia a las plantaciones de alto valor comercial y procedió a traer a expertos forestales de Suecia para entrenar al personal local en métodos de trabajo suecos. Importó las primeras maquinarias forestales para cosecha y trabajó de la mano de los fabricantes para la tropicalización de las mismas.

Diseñó y confeccionó el brazo forestal para cargar contenedores que posteriormente ha sido copiado por diferentes fábricas y con los que se cargan el 80% de los contenedores de teca. Diseñó junto con sus ingenieros y el equipo de MEBOR en Eslovenia la primera planta procesadora de la región tropicalizada para teca y mantiene los récords de los contenedores más costosos de teca que ha producido el país en tucas y en teca aserrada FSC 100%.

 

JOSE SAEZ CORRIOSO: He has worked on the plantations since the first owner purchased pastures to be converted into plantations in the 1990s. Trained by Swedish experts in commercial plantation management since 2005, he is currently our plantation manager. As a tangible result of his forestry management, he has developed the best plantations in the country, over 25 years old. Along with his team, he has achieved the highest yield per hectare in the country with the lowest rejection rate and the highest economic return per hectare.     

What is the purpose of Ecotopia Teak?

The purpose of Ecotopia Teak is to be a certified reforestation company that manages the entire chain from planting to processing teak trees. Its main objective is the sustainable production of teak wood, a valuable natural resource used in the construction and furniture manufacturing industry.

 

The company aims to promote environmental protection through responsible forestry practices, reducing pressure on the native Panamanian forest by creating dignified jobs around its operational areas. This involves planting teak trees in deforested or degraded areas, thereby contributing to reforestation, carbon sequestration, knowledge transfer, and job creation.

 

Además, Ecotopia Teak se preocupa por obtener certificaciones que respalden su compromiso con la sostenibilidad, como el Forest Stewardship Council®.Al manejar la cadena completa desde la siembra hasta el procesamiento, Ecotopia Teak se asegura de mantener un control estricto sobre todas las etapas del proceso. Esto le permite garantizar la calidad de la madera de teca producida y minimizar el impacto ambiental.
