Our commitment to our customers and to the sustainability of the local economy defines us.
We certify the origin of all of our wood, given that we always purchase at source. We identify the best mountains and direct the extraction of the wood to guarantee the quality of the raw materials. We only sell wood from Galicia, Asturias and the north of Portugal.
Purchasing wood from Normont means having the guarantee of receiving quality wood in the best conditions.
At Normont, we focus on the development of a solid and sustainable forest sector. For this reason, we support professionalisation in the practices of forest management as a method for developing the rural scope.
Committed to respect for the environment and the development of a sustainable economy over time, based on the utilisation of wood resources and respect for our surroundings.
We believe that forestry development is a key element for the sustainability of our mountains. That’s why we have the clear mission to train and bring value to local producers.
Through our activity, we made the development of wood from mountains in rural areas sustainable. In this way, we boost the local economy in underpopulated areas, thus contributing towards the depopulation that threatens rural areas in Galicia, Asturias and Portugal.
Galicia has 40% of the production of eucalyptus wood, which is mostly used for paper pulp, manufacturing of posts, boards, plywood and sawdust.
This wood is our main speciality. We have been working with eucalyptus wood (eucalyptus globulus) since the beginning, thus achieving complete knowledge of it and, thanks to this, we can obtain high quality raw materials that other companies cannot provide. In general, eucalyptus has good density, hardness and resistance to impacts. It is also easy to bend at will, which allows us to move away from straight angles in certain uses.
We can consider pine wood to be the most used and well-known wood. Apart from its high presence, this is also due to its versatility and ease of use. It has good indexes for resistance, contraction and flexion as well as impregnability. In Galicia, we can find the pinus pinaster variety or local pine.
Oak wood: this is one of the most popular woods thanks to its high quality-price ratio. This wood has high resistance but is also very easy to use and to mould.

Ash wood: This wood is often used because of its versatility and its excellent aptitudes for bending. It is used in carpentry and cabinetmaking, in sports articles, in floors and bodywork, as it has good tenacity characteristics (the capacity to absorb deformation energy before breaking).
Walnut wood: Considered as the most select hardwood, walnut is the dark wood of choice for fine furniture, interiors and butts of firearms. It is classified as good for bending by steam. Walnut is very resistant to heartwood decay, it is one of the most durable woods.
Chestnut wood: This is a soft and lightly nervous wood, meaning, it has great dimensional stability against changes in humidity. It has several uses from carpentry to naval construction.
Olive wood: Both for its physical properties and for its beauty, olive wood is one of the favourite materials among the most cutting-edge interior designers and architects. The irregularity of its grain and the complex patterns that are created make each piece unique.
