In the heart of Myanmar’s timber trade era, this photograph captures a moment of quiet significance, Mr. Bollinger, a respected international buyer, standing beside a local representative from the Myanmar Timber Enterprise during a tender sale visit. Behind them, the logs are neatly stacked and numbered, ready for inspection, carrying the scent of freshly cut hardwood and the weight of honest work.

For the man from Myanmar, this moment was more than a business encounter. It was a reflection of mutual respect and understanding built through years of collaboration. Mr. Bollinger, known for his kind demeanor and deep appreciation for quality timber, often engaged personally with those behind the trade valuing the people as much as the products.

Their friendship grew not through formalities, but through shared passion and integrity. Days spent under the sun, examining timber and discussing craftsmanship, became the quiet foundation of trust that defined that era.
