Cohout nv exists since 1983 and is settled in Nieuwerkerken (Limburg, Belgium).

It is the continuation of a second generation wood traders, with a many years' tradition and experience in forest exploitation and trading logs.

The result of many years of commitment of Ludo Colemont and his team is that Cohout has grown to become one of the most important suppliers to the first processing wood industry.

Beside the trading of logs, Cohout has also specialized in the trade of lumber.Some of the factors that have made this favourable development possible are undoubtedly the excellent co- operation with different subcontractors and the combination of a favourable strategic position and good transport facilities.

Cohout is situated central in an area where forest exploitation still knows an enormous increase. The justified economic forest management ensures that there are always new stocks of exploitable wood available. Cohout nv has specialized in several poplar varieties, but also provide in the trade of beech, oak, ash, etc.

Once all the trees are cut someone from Cohout will divide the trees in different lengths depending on the quality of the wood. Once that is done they are shipped to a customer.Bigger branches of the trees are used a firewood or are sometimes moulded to serve as food for the surface.When all the trees are cut new young trees will be planted to replace the old ones.The chopped trees are transported via truck, train or ship to the customer in cooperation with multiple trusted transporters and subcontractors

After contacting a Cohout representative someone will visit the parcel to measure the trees and check their quality. After the initial check Cohout will calculate a price to continue the agreement. Once the agreement has been made the trees are cut by one, or multiple persons, depending on the dimensions of the parcel. After chopping the trees they are dragged out of the parcel in whole and stacked for further processing.
