Social responsibility: nature, environment and craftsmen

The products are manufactured in the rural areas of El Salvador, which enables us to avoid the migration of craftsmen to the nation's capital. Manual production of products eliminates the problem of contamination, and thus it is better for the environment.

The material that we use for the production of wooden sticks for hammocks and hammock chairs is imported from North and Central America as well as from Chile.

Our company selflessly provides financial support to artisans owing to which it increases the number of jobs, as well as production. We also support education of indigent young people. Moreover, we cooperate with the government and non-governmental organisations that are involved in the craft sector. Through joint efforts, we hope to improve the economic situation of the region.
