With competitive market price and high quality control standards to respect, since its beginning Rodaflooring brought value to the flooring industry by manufacturing with the most minor detail in mind. Rodaflooring sources its own supply working in conjunction with the world's largest FSC tropical forest located in Bolivia.


Rodaflooring began manufacturing in 2008 and in a short period of time has reached levels that usually take many years to achieve. Our advantage is that all our machinery is the latest state-of-the-art cutting edge technology giving us a quick production line. Our unique exotic tropical wood source combined with computerized precision diamond tip tools and a UV curing process gives us the opportunity to export high quality products.

We support the Green Lead Builders Movement and are in constant training with the National Wood Floor Association, Rain Forest Alliance, and Lacey Act.


Our mission is to protect the forest from illegal logging by manufacturing high quality value added wood products. We believe in providing a better quality of life to the local communities within the rain forests. Working with a responsible forest management plan ensures sustainable protection of the natural rain forests.


This story begins with family. A father and his sons, two generations passionately committed to the vision that they share - that good business is more than creating a good product, it is building and maintaining good relationships with the people and the land.
“We are in one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Our obligation is here, in this country. We have an obligation that the people of Bolivia live better... Each year our commitment to the communities grows as we continue to embrace our social responsibility as citizens of Bolivia.”


For generations, conventional land use practices contributed to a crisis in the Bolivian forest industry. Unregulated harvesting depleted forestlands of precious wood species, and the high cost of transporting even the most valuable of these logs made for small profit margins. Once the small percentage of valuable species was gone, the remaining forests were viewed as worthless. People had little option other than clearing the remaining forest for cash crops or cattle-raising.

Illegal logging also contributes to deforestation at a rapid level. Logging practices in the South American Amazon rainforest are generally misunderstood. We want to help explain logging so that consumers can make an intelligent decision regarding any wood product from the Amazon Tropics.

The Amazon Rainforest is the most diversified forest in the world, harvesting commercially viable species is the only economical reasonable approach for logging. Clear cutting is not an option unless you plan to dedicate the land for ranching or farming. For timber extraction, selective harvesting of between 20 and 200 trees per 1000 acres is typical throughout the Amazon forest.

To reduce deforestation local Government agencies such as CFV, Certificacion Forestal Voluntaria and third party certification agencies such as FSC, Forest Stewardship Council, require land management plans which are based on selective and sustainable logging practices.

Local communities and landowners need a way to get value from their land. With reasonable market prices and consumer support for tropical lumber products, the incentive to convert tropical forest to agricultural use is minimized. It is a way of adding value to the standing forest.

In order to extract timber from the rainforest companies must submit a detailed forest management plan. Dividing into sections the area to be logged and trees are identified by species.

Computerized detailed maps can be created and pin point the trees that can be chopped down. In order for natural regeneration to occur seed trees of each species are left untouched. Also certain sizes are left for the next logging cycle in 20 to 30 years.

Regulatory agencies will require that companies replant areas that have been cleared in the past. This is great for areas that have been used for ranching in the past. A bare patch can be turned around into a forest plantation and in only 5 years the average height of these trees can reach 15 feet. The best way to protect our forest and add value is by practicing selective logging. People’s livelihoods depend on the forest resources. The Amazonian wood industry is well positioned to play a key role in helping to preserve the forest by providing value and jobs without chopping the forest down.
