Bozovich Peru: A New ATIBT Member and a Pillar of Sustainability in the Timber Industry
Bozovich Peru's recent membership of the International Tropical Timber Technical Association (ATIBT) marks a significant milestone in the company's journey. ATIBT, known for its commitment to promoting the sustainable, ethical and legal trade of tropical timber as a renewable natural resource, has welcomed Bozovich Peru, recognising its leading role in the global timber industry.
ATIBT and Its Sustainability Mission
ATIBT is an organization firmly committed to sustainability in the exploitation and trade of tropical timber. Based in Europe, the association brings together key players in the timber industry, including producers, traders, and non-governmental organizations, all focused on ensuring that tropical wood is used responsibly and sustainably.
ATIBT's mission aligns perfectly with the values and objectives of Bozovich Perú. The Peruvian company, under the leadership of Drago Bozovich Noriega, has consistently demonstrated dedication to sustainability, from responsible forest management to innovation in high-value-added wood products. This synergy has led ATIBT to recognize Bozovich as a new member, highlighting its commitment to the industry and its ability to lead by example.
Drago Bozovich's Leadership: A Vision of Innovation and Sustainability
Drago Bozovich Noriega, CEO of Maderera Bozovich, has been a driving force in the company's transformation. With more than 70 years of experience, the company has grown from a simple producer of raw timber to a global supplier of finished and ready-to-install timber products. This achievement is no accident, but the result of a strategic vision that Drago Bozovich has implemented with precision and determination.
Drago's academic background, which includes a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Lima and a Senior Management Programme at INCAE Business School, has been instrumental in his ability to lead the company to new horizons. These studies have provided him with the necessary tools to implement strategies that not only ensure the company's growth, but also promote sustainability in all aspects of its operation.
One of the fundamental pillars of Drago Bozovich's management is his firm belief in sustainability as the basis for the future of the timber industry. Under his leadership, Bozovich has implemented long-term forest management plans that ensure the conservation and rational use of tree species in the Peruvian Amazon. This approach not only protects natural resources, but also creates a virtuous circle of development, providing employment and improving the quality of life in local communities.
International Expansion and Global Competitiveness
Under Drago Bozovich's leadership, the company has achieved significant expansion into international markets. Countries such as Russia and New Zealand have been receptive to Bozovich's innovative products, allowing the company to differentiate itself in a highly competitive global marketplace. This expansion has not only increased Bozovich's global presence, but has also reinforced its reputation as a leader in innovation within the timber industry.
Drago has implemented advanced technological strategies that have enabled the company to stay at the forefront of the industry. This includes the modernisation of its production processes and the diversification of its product offering, always with a focus on sustainability and the creation of added value.
Ivo Bozovich: Business Optimisation and Growth
While Drago Bozovich leads the company's strategic vision, Ivo Bozovich, has been instrumental in optimising Bozovich Peru's operations and business growth. With over 20 years of experience, Ivo has demonstrated an exceptional ability to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and expand product offerings.
As General Manager, Ivo has managed a purchasing budget in excess of $33 million annually, renewing product lines and expanding exportable offerings. His experience in sales, investment and procurement management has been crucial in consolidating Bozovich's global presence, strengthening its position in key international markets.
Commitment to Sustainability and the Future
Bozovich Peru's commitment to sustainability is not just a business strategy, but a philosophy that guides all its operations. The company sources its raw material from forest concessions such as Forestal Otorongo, which covers 183,000 hectares in Madre de Dios and is managed under the rigorous standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This responsible management ensures not only biodiversity conservation, but also job creation and economic development in the regions where it operates.
In addition, Bozovich is constantly exploring new opportunities to promote sustainability in the timber industry. Its recent partnership with ATIBT is a clear example of this commitment, as the two organisations work together to promote a tropical timber trade that is not only legal and ethical, but also sustainable in the long term.
A Bright Future for Bozovich and the Timber Industry
Bozovich Peru's welcome to ATIBT is a recognition of its dedication and leadership in the timber industry. Under the leadership of Drago and Ivo Bozovich, the company has not only achieved significant growth in international markets, but has also set the standard in sustainability and social responsibility.
The future of Bozovich Peru looks bright, with new opportunities on the horizon and a firm commitment to innovation and sustainability. The partnership with ATIBT will not only strengthen the company's reputation, but will also allow Bozovich to continue to lead the way towards a more sustainable and responsible future for the global timber industry.
