About Apolo
We don't sell wood. We make sure the wood you buy is the wood you ordered.
Apolo Group, an independent procurement services firm, specializes in FSC-certified tropical hardwoods from Central and South America. We connect businesses globally through disciplined execution, transparency, and deep expertise in global trade. With roots in Latin America, operational experience in China, and a growing presence in the US and Europe, we source, verify, grade, and coordinate end-to-end delivery, ensuring every shipment arrives as specified, compliant, and on time. We guide partners through international sourcing and market expansion with clarity and confidence.
The hidden cost of sourcing without oversight
We cultivate long-term partnerships that generate measurable value across the supply chain, aligning suppliers, manufacturers, and buyers through transparency, performance, and mutual growth. Many Latin American mills sell boards, not oversight, exposing North American buyers to inconsistent grading, weak documentation, out-of-spec shipments, and compliance risks. A single problematic container can erase hard-earned margins. Apolo Group manages this complexity, ensuring every shipment meets specification, remains compliant, and arrives with confidence.
Four things we do, so you don't have to
Mill Sourcing & Qualification
Grading & Quality Oversight at Origin
Grading & Quality Oversight at Origin
We maintain vetted relationships with FSC-certified mills across Central and South America. For every order, we match your spec — species, grade, volume, certification, budget — against the mills best positioned to deliver it. You see qualified options, not a single pitch.

Grading & Quality Oversight at Origin
Tropical hardwood grading varies mill to mill. Our origin team inspects material against NHLA standards or your custom spec before the container closes. You receive photos, moisture readings, and dimensional data before we sign off on loading — not after it arrives at your yard.
Certification & Regulatory Compliance
Grading & Quality Oversight at Origin
Certification & Regulatory Compliance
We manage chain-of-custody documentation for FSC-certified volumes, prepare Lacey Act declarations, coordinate CITES permits where applicable, and handle phytosanitary certificates. Your compliance package ships with the container, audit-ready on arrival.
Logistics & Import Coordination
Grading & Quality Oversight at Origin
Certification & Regulatory Compliance
From factory gate to your yard — freight forwarder coordination, container optimization, export documentation, customs clearance, and delivery follow-through. One point of accountability from loading in Guatemala to offload in your yard
