The growers, merchants, sawmillers, processors, manufacturers and retailers working in Scotland with Scottish grown timber are totally involved in the consistent and constant supply of quality product. It is their skill that has delivered the essence and core value of the Albanach label.
This degree of involvement in the delivery of quality, has created a great sense of ownership and has built a great commitment to the Albanach label. The supply chain is a caring and dedicated group of people. Typically small businesses, it is their strong work ethic that has created the Albanach mark of best practice.
One of the aims of Albanach is to inspire producers to allow their momentum and expertise to be the driver of this of product quality. Success of the Albanach brand has been reliant upon a strong relationship between the customer and all the key people within that supply chain. Provided with an opportunity to supply home grown product they can often come up with a solution that has the required environmental, commercial and socio-economic implications for the customer. In other words give the consumer exactly what they have been looking for!
One thing the supply chain can do above all other imported materials and suppliers is source and make in a raw material from Scotland. The Albanach products are grown, sawn, designed and made in Scotland. In Scotland we grow trees that have fantastic colour, grain and strength. They are not boring, they are full of character. The woodland itself supports an amazing array of species and understory that a few dedicated people work for a living. This natural harvest is being revalued. The primary materials used in Albanach product have been cared for by people that care for our woodlands. Our foresters, our foragers, our sawmillers, our builders, our makers . . . our customers.
