When we are asked what we do, we always find it difficult to describe ourselves in just a few words. In theory, we could say that we are the sales arm for primary and secondary wood products manufacturers. However, this would not properly describe the true nature of the many services we provide to our manufacturing clients, as we are much more than a simple sales force, which we believe sets us apart from most manufacturers' agents.

As an experienced, well-respected and successful forest industry entrepreneur, Mr. Bob Giroux founded Soanbert Corp. in 1998. After more than fifteen years of championing into a progressive corporate career, Bob saw an obvious void in the marketplace for a true manufacturers' agent for medium-size, expanding and/or start-up forest companies, which can assist entrepreneurs in taking a business concept to market. In addition, we help our clients successfully launch traditional or innovative wood-based products or ideas to the intended target segments through our intergraded strengths in sales, marketing and distribution of lumber and other added value wood-related products.

From day one, Soanbert made a commitment to our clients that the company would not resort to wholesaling any products. Soanbert devotes all resources to properly representing only the products manufactured by clients with whom we have contractual agreements.

In addition to representing our manufacturers' products in the marketplace, all of our clients benefit from the many different services and expertise we offer:

• Market Research & Development
• Products Development
• Business Development
• Logistics
• Production Process Improvements and Analysis
• Forest Industry Sector Specialists Network
• Medium to Long Term Strategic Planning (Corporate & Marketing)
• Operation Management
• Sales & Marketing Management
• Accounts Receivable Management

We, at Soanbert Corp. believe that because of who we are, what we do and considering the effective services we provide to our customers, all ultimately translate into higher income for the manufacturing partners we represent.
