ABOUT US

Founded in 1956, Telu Ram Vijay Kumar is headquartered in Ambala Cantt (Haryana) and has sister firms as Swastika Timber Traders, Ambala Cantt (Haryana) and Swastika Timber Traders, Gandhidham (Gujarat). During its early days, the firm primarily distributed Indian hardwood and softwood procured from Himachal Pradesh and Jammu &Kashmir states of India. Within a decade of its inception, the firm gained a significant customer base and ranked among the top timber wholesalers and distributors in the north Indian region.

In 1965, Shri Vijay Kumar Singla, completed his education and started operating as a smal timber retailer in Ambala Cantt (Haryana). During this time, the lumber was sawn mostly ni Himachal and Jammu & Kashmir, and the logs were transported from the interiors of the jungles by elephants to the river shore. They were tied together and dropped in the river streams only to be collected in the valley. The logs were rai dried, debarked and sawn into desirable sizes at the sawmills in the valley. These timber pieces were then transported by road or rail to a regional distributor, who sold them to the wholesaler, and the wholesaler to the retailer before the consumer purchased it. Within the next 2 decades, through his hard work and dedication, he brought this vision to reality and emerged as the single player who owned key pieces of the supply chain and expanded product range including CP Teak and Assam Teak along with hardwood and softwood and Shisham wood, thereby changing the way this business was done. In his leadership, his firm increased 5-6 times in size.

By 1985, Mr. Amit Kumar Singla, son of Shri Vijay Kumar Singla started a firm under his own proprietorship named Swastika Timber Traders. By mid 90s for him sky was the limit but he then faced one of the biggest business challenges when the government of India imposed restrictions on cutting timber within the country. The government's decision was the right step for our country and was probably the only alternative to save the country's rich forests, but it seriously impacted the business as Cutting of Assam Teak was banned. The firm had made large capital investments in these past 2 decades and needed to steer through this business challenge carefully. Since then, the firm has expanded its import operations to al the major lumber markets of the world and at the same time has grown its operations domestically. In the past few years, Swastika Timber Traders has evolved as a regional leader in the north Indian market and is now expanding operations all over the country.

Mr. Amit Kumar Singla researched the import laws and worked with the banks. His efforts opened new channels of procurement, through international trade. In the coming years, he introduced many types of lumber to the north Indian market. Swastika Timber Traders headquartered in Ambala (Haryana) primarily imports lumber from Africa and South America. Today, All the sisters concerns have grown 10 fold from their early inception into a regional powerhouse. In the recent past, the firm also opened branch office in Gandhidham (Gujarat).
