Originally this activity was mainly "forestry", as the auctioneer of Scots pine auctions. At that time a large sector of the carpentry industry sawed its own wood, making this industry the main base of its customers. Practically all the wood that was auctioned was in pine forests in the province of Segovia (Valsain, Navafría, El Espinar, etc ...) Although the company was very small in its beginnings, the great forestry knowledge of its founder, and the recognition of This on the part of clients and collaborators led to a figure of 10,000 m3 per year. The change in the demand for traditional carpentry (pine) due to the demand for tropical wood, forced the carpentry shops to undergo a very important reconversion. Reconversion to which Arturo Olmos was no stranger, initiating negotiations to import tropical wood. A year after starting these efforts, the purchase / sale of pine trunk became more difficult, due to the decrease in lots at auction with good quality. For this reason, the construction of the first warehouse began, consisting of a 1,000 m2 warehouse, where part of the wood that was sold could be dried. Currently, the facilities of this company have 10,000 m2 covered and another 10,000 m2 of park. The wood is dried in 4 "drying chambers" with a capacity of 400 m3. Due to logistical needs, since more and more wood is received in containers, the company opened another center in Picassent (Valencia), which currently has 2,800 m2 covered and 5,000 m2 of park.
