About us
More than four decades turning forest into value.
For more than 40 years, AVIDES has evolved on a foundation of sustainable forest management, technology and industrial excellence, turning certified tropical timber into high-value solutions for clients in Brazil and around the world.
History
From door making to a national and international industrial presence.
AVIDES history began more than four decades ago, when the first generation of the family started working in the responsible management of Amazonian forests. Since then, technical knowledge, respect for the time of nature and commitment to the origin of the wood have become the pillars of the company.
Over the years, this experience evolved into an operating model that integrates forest management, logistics, industrial processing and sales, allowing control over every stage of the supply chain. AVIDES helped build a new way to produce timber: with traceability, responsibility and a long-term vision

Origin
AVIDES is born from the union of tradition and evolution.
Its origin lies in Benevides Madeiras, a company recognized for sustainable forest management, timber traceability and deep knowledge of the Amazon forest. As the operation grew, this heritage was expanded through the addition of a modern industrial structure specialized in transforming timber into high-standard products.
This integration gave rise to a new brand, ready to represent a more complete, more international company fully aligned with the challenges of the future.
Mission
To transform the potential of the Amazon forest into high-standard timber solutions through a responsible, vertically integrated and transparent production model.
We work to generate value for our clients, strengthen communities, preserve the forest and deliver products of traceable origin that meet the highest national and international standards.
Vision
To be recognized worldwide as a benchmark in sustainable forestry solutions, showing that it is possible to combine environmental conservation, industrial technology and production excellence in a single operation.
We want to lead a new generation of forestry companies, where economic development and preservation go hand in hand.
