Hello, I want to sell huge quantities of wood and veneers. Especially for the veneers I am searching companies which can use bigger amounts of veneers. Does somebody know perhaps some bigger companies which would be interested into receiving an offer? I know only few of them here in Europe, I guess in the USA this would only be Taylor, Breedlove and perhaps Martin.

But how about China and Asia?

Does anybody want to help me? Thank you very much for your help in advance, cheers, Alex

Bohlke corp in Ohio mbveneer.com I think they are pretty big
certainly wood near Buffalo certainlywood.com smaller but they have an incredible selection

hello Mike, thank you for your answer! Mr. Böhlke as well as the folks from certainlywood are alread customers, i am really searching guitar making vompanies which can use short length veneers. but thnk you for your input. cheers, alex

I'm sure there are lots of guitar companies in China who would be interested in your woods, but bear in mind there are already a good number of wood suppliers selling at good prices in China. Do you have lots of European specific woods that a Chinese maker would be interested in?

Hello Tai, yes I would be able to offer high volumes for mass production, that’s also what I am looking for.....do you know some of the big players in Asia?

I do not personally know of any, but many companies making guitars in China sells on Taobao. It's worth a look. Do you have any staff that speaks Chinese?

Martinez Guitars in China would probably be the sort of company you are looking for. I visited their factory in Huadu in 2015. The owner, Alex Wang, speaks good English, and he was a very gracious host. I believe he has a German business partner as well.
