More than 250,000 wood professionals (log producers, sawmills, veneer mills, panel producers, importers and large industrial users) have chosen to become members of the Fordaq network. Thanks to a widespread organisation on a global scale, the company can interact with its associated members through daily information exchange, significantly facilitating their business turnover.

Via website, the member companies have access to the following services:

• Fordaq Marketplace: the online market they use to communicate offers and inquiries and check offers and inquiries of other companies. This market makes new suppliers or clients contact, check out how the market is proceeding (prices and stocks), and compare prices.
• Fordaq Directory: online addresses directory.

• Fordaq Market info: daily industry news, calendar and results of European log auctions, trade shows and events pieces of information.
• Fordaq Customer support: a team of wood professionals in various languages follows what happens in the market to seize the best opportunities. For basic information about another member, suggestions to improve the promotion or any other information, the Fordaq team is at your disposal.
