Silvaris Corporation
Silvaris opened its doors in 2000, founded by a technology expert and a lumber industry expert. The founders identified a lack of technology in the lumber industry and joined forces to help bring that vertical into what was then the “dotcom” era. Since that time, Silvaris has evolved into a premier building materials trading partner for hundreds of manufacturers, wholesale/distribution companies, warehouses, freight carriers, and retail operations. Early on, we adopted a focus on secondary markets, specializing in liquidation of the hardest to move products. We pride ourselves on creating solutions for companies that need to move these products yet still protect their primary material channels. Our customers enjoy the advantages of our long-standing supply relationships by the consistent availability of the products they need and creative solutions to supply problems.
