Woods Companies in Malaysia

Woods companies in Malaysia are involved in the business of logging, sawmilling, veneer production, and plywood production. Most of these companies are located in the states of Sarawak and Sabah, on the island of Borneo. The rainforests of Borneo are some of the most biodiverse in the world, and the logging and wood processing industries are a major threat to these ecosystems.

Most of the wood companies in Malaysia are owned by foreign interests, and the majority of the logging is done by foreign-owned companies. The Malaysian government has been criticized for not doing enough to protect the rainforests, and for not adequately regulating the logging industry. There have been a number of scandals involving corruption and illegal logging, and the Malaysian timber industry has been accused of contributing to the destruction of the rainforests.
