Apical has had a constant focus on the development of its clonal material, developing its own modern nursery and producing excellent quality and high yielding cuttings. The company benefits from being part of a larger teak network focused on the clonal program, but also advanced silvicultural regimes, harvesting operations and the trading of teak. Apical Reforestadora is one of the top leading FSC certified teak log producers and exporters in Panama. 

Over the years, Apical has developed a good knowledge and expertise throughout the whole value chain. With its own modern nursery, a large contractor base and with a growing client base, Apical has developed a superior understanding and control of the value adding operations.
