Engineered for high-volume commercial dining, luxury hotel charcuterie service, and retail distribution in Sri Lanka's tropical hospitality ecosystem.
Sri Lanka's coastal and high-humidity inland environments present strict challenges for solid wood tableware. Our advanced vacuum kiln-drying and organic stabilization guarantee long-term performance.

From custom CAD/CAM profile carving to eco-friendly food-grade oil curing, our factory operates with international compliance and strict quality control.
Sri Lanka experiences high relative atmospheric humidity (75%–85%). Standard timber boards easily warp or check. We utilize multi-stage computerized vacuum drying chambers to lock internal moisture at 8%–10%, ensuring complete structural dimensional stability upon arrival at Colombo Port.
The core challenge of live edge (raw bark) serving boards is bark separation over time. Our proprietary eco-resin thermal curing technique penetrates the cambium layer of the log, permanently binding the natural tree bark to the sapwood without compromising food-grade safety standards.
Every natural edge serving board is treated exclusively with certified organic food-grade mineral oils, coconut wax, and natural beeswax. Free from toxic varnishes, phthalates, and formaldehyde resins, meeting US FDA 21 CFR 175.300 and LFGB food safety guidelines.
We provide full-service white label and private label customization for Sri Lankan distributors, luxury hotel chains, and retail brands. Features include deep laser logo engraving, custom handle configurations, retail barcode packaging, and bespoke display boxes.
All timber harvested for our production originates from legal, sustainably managed replantation forests in Thailand. Complete FSC-C152394 documentation is issued for seamless compliance under international green procurement standards and environmental regulations.
Streamlined ocean freight logistics from Laem Chabang / Bangkok Port directly to Colombo Port (SLCMB). We handle ISPM-15 heat-treatment phytosanitary certification, fumigation documentation, and customs clearance paperwork for stress-free delivery.

Strategic insights into the rapidly changing procurement landscapes across Colombo's hospitality and import distribution channels.
With Sri Lanka's Ministry of Environment increasing restrictions on single-use plastics and non-biodegradable tableware in tourist zones, hotel chains along the southwest coast are actively shifting to 100% natural wooden alternatives. Natural edge wood boards provide an eco-luxury appeal aligned with Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) green guidelines.
Culinary shifts in Colombo, Kandy, and Galle show a 35% increase in menu offerings featuring charcuterie platters, artisanal cheese boards, and live-edge steak presentation trays. High-end restaurants favor rustic raw bark aesthetics because they enhance social media visual sharing and elevate perceived meal value.
Sri Lankan B2B importers benefit from importing finished wooden kitchenware under HS Code 4419.90. By sourcing directly from FSC-certified Thai manufacturers, buyers ensure streamlined customs processing at Colombo Port with full phytosanitary clearance and transparent origin documentation.
Everything you need to know regarding minimum order quantities, climate performance, custom branding, and shipping to Colombo.
Our standard MOQ for wholesale natural edge wood serving boards is 200 pieces per design/size. For mixed container loads (LCL or FCL) combining cutting boards, salad bowls, and serving trays, we offer flexible MOQ structures to support Sri Lankan distributors and hotel procurement projects.
All our timber undergoes vacuum kiln drying down to 8–10% moisture content, eliminating mold spores and pest larvae. Additionally, every board is treated with natural organic anti-fungal oil dips. We also perform mandatory ISPM-15 heat treatments and issue Phytosanitary Certificates required by Sri Lanka Customs.
Yes. We offer high-precision CO2 laser engraving, hot foil stamping, and brand plate recessed inlaying. Logos can be placed on the face of the board, along the handle, or discreetly on the underside according to your brand specification drawings.
Direct sea freight shipments from Laem Chabang / Bangkok Port to Colombo Port (SLCMB) typically take 7 to 10 ocean transit days. Total lead time including manufacturing and export customs documentation is approximately 25 to 35 days depending on order volume.
Our raw edge boards undergo a stabilization process where non-toxic food-grade binding resin cures the bark connection to the sapwood. With proper commercial handwashing and routine mineral oil conditioning, the natural bark remains securely intact for years of daily use.
Absolutely. Our organic mineral oil and beeswax finish creates a hydrophobic barrier that resists oil penetration, meat juice absorption, and food staining. All surface coatings fully comply with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 standards for direct food contact safety.
