Shaping a better future, one solution at a time
We turn wood into progress — supporting people, protecting nature, and building trust across borders.
Stability that supports major projects
With over 75 years of history and the backing of the Zugman Group, we ensure financial strength, long-term continuity, and unwavering commitment — even in large-scale developments and demanding environments.
Trust that crosses borders
We serve clients in Brazil and over 80 countries, in the world’s leading markets — from small distributors to major contractors and industries, always with consistency and reliability.
Trusted by those who demand excellence
We build long-term relationships with our clients and are recognized — even awarded — for our quality service, technical performance, commitment, and environmental and social responsibility.
"When we started, all we had was a strong will to work with seriousness and quality. Today, those same values continue to guide the company. Knowing that we help build something solid — that creates jobs, drives innovation, and respects the environment — is the greatest reward I could imagine."

Family and commercial origins
Henrique Zugman arrives in Brazil with his family from Europe and, together with his children, begins commercial activities in the south of the country. With an entrepreneurial spirit and strong family values, he lays the foundations for a legacy that, decades later, would become one of Brazil’s leading wood industry groups.

Entry into the wood industry
The Zugman family begins industrial production of beds, marking its definitive entry into the wood sector and the start of the group’s industrial journey.

Expansion and consolidation
The Zugman Group expands its operations with the acquisition of the Lavrama door factory. In the following decades, it inaugurates three new industrial units and begins exporting plywood to the demanding markets of the US and Europe.
