Asopie Group NV has a solid and strong foundation. Started as a small local furniture manufacturer in 2001, Asopie Group NV expanded and redirected its focus on export- import in 2013, entering therefore the international business scene.

    Asopie Group NV benefits also from a compact operational structure with concessions in Western and Southern Suriname, where we closely operate with local chamber concessions holders.

    Thanks to the extensive knowledge of China of one of our companys founders and his experience there throughout the years, Asopie Group NV has been able to rebrand and direct its focus towards the Chinese market. After studying and living in China for over six years, Wendell Paulus B.Sc., became aware of the potential of the Chinese chamber and furniture market. Supported by extensive and exhaustive research, targeted meetings with organizations within this sector in China and Suriname and, most of all, throughout the help of the Surinamese Embassy in China, we have decided to enter the Chinese market, with our main mission being:

    1. Growing and cultivating longlasting and powerful business relationships with organizations and companies operating in the Chinese market;

    2. Establishing and developing a fruitful chamber business, considering the appeal of high-end wooden furniture and art products within the Chinese market and therefore its high demand;

    3. Build and expand a strong network of Surinamese and Chinese companies conducting export-import activities of exotic timber and prestigious high-end wooden products, strengthening a cultural and folkloristic exchange between these two countries.

    Suriname is located along the northeastern coast of South America, neighbor to Brazil along the South, with Guyana to the West and French Guyana to the East; more than 80% of Suriname is covered by the Amazon rainforest, which is very well-known for its richness in flora and fauna, but most of all for hosting the rarest species of timber in the world, such as Snakewood.

    We export different varieties of timber, from precious hard wood, suitable for furniture and antics, to wood for building materials.

    Our timbers are carefully selected by our employers in our concessions in the South and West of Suriname.
