CAT - Environmental Responsibility

At CAT, we strive to use materials and processes that impact on the environment. All of our products, from furniture to big projects, are all built out from sustainable forests.

Virtually all of the products we produce is finished, not only because it looks great, but because it increases its durability and ensures that it can be enjoyed for many generations. Here at CAT, we have undergone various improvements to our facilities and practices to continuously meet.

We also updated our exhaust system so that it filters and reduces concentrations of overspray more effectively, further reducing our ecological footprint.

Wood Resources

North American lumber such as Oak wood, Walnut, Mahogany, Maple, ...etc harvested from forests of the United States or Canada by wood vendors that meet strict local, state and national standards for forest management.
Pine wood and plywood used in main frames and kitchen cabinets is from Scandinavia. Scandinavian countries are well known for being very strict in the field of forest sustainability
MDF and block board used in drawers and inner parts from Indonesian forests. These plantations have existed for many years and are carefully managed, providing an important economic activity that offers opportunities for villagers that do not involve destroying existing primary forests cropland conversion, grazing, or timber harvesting.
