Green Trade Hardwood: B2B Timber Marketplace. From the Forest
to the Project.

My name is Mauro Pivato.
I entered the timber industry at the age of 25.
For many years I have lived and worked across Southeast Asia, specialising in timber sourcing, grading, and quality control while building long-standing relationships with producers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Myanmar.
Everything I know about this business has been learned through hands-on experience.
Until 2021, I worked primarily in the Burmese teak sector, managing sawmills in Myanmar and collaborating with Malaysian and Singaporean exporters supplying timber to customers around the world, particularly in Europe.

Throughout my career I kept encountering the same situation.
European importers struggled to obtain documentation that satisfied the requirements of their national competent authorities.
In many cases, suppliers already possessed the necessary documents, but they were not submitted in the required format or with sufficient detail.
The result was frustration, delays, and unnecessary costs for everyone involved.
Having worked closely with both suppliers and importers, I realised the real problem was not the documentation itself, it was the absence of a shared, structured process.
That insight led to the creation of GTH.
A private B2B e-procurement platform where every supplier is verified before joining and must demonstrate their ability to meet the documentation standards required by European importers.
Every buyer is also a legitimate business.
No anonymous traders.
No unverified intermediaries.
Simply a trusted marketplace built by someone who understands the realities of the timber trade.
It's the platform I wish had existed when I started my career.
Today, it does.
