Rare Earth Hardwoods (REH) was established in 1984 in Traverse City, MI.  In 2003 REH opened their own production facility in Santarem, Brazil named Zero Impact Brazil (ZIB). ZIB produces specialty hardwood lumber, large slabs, siding, decking, flooring, paneling, timber packages and timber frames marketed under Amazon Timber Frames.

As a company policy, we focus on procuring wood with minimal negative impact on the forests of the region and when possible we harvest logs under our own exclusive 3D Guidelines (DYING, DEAD & DOWN).
