About Snohva
UNCOMPROMISING DEDICATION TO QUALITY WITHIN A SUSTAINABLE END-TO-END SUPPLY CHAIN
Decades of Quality, Ethics, and Expertise
For generations, Snohva has been rooted in a singular vision: to be the most trusted direct producer of sustainably harvested, FSC®-certified plantation teak globally. Our journey began with a commitment to providing an ethical alternative to traditionally sourced teak, and today, that principle guides every facet of our partnerships.
We empower builders, designers, wholesalers, and distributors with unparalleled quality, transparent sourcing, and a reliable supply direct from carefully selected ideal growing areas along Costa Rica's Pacific Region. This is more than just teak; it's a promise of integrity from our founder, Robert Hick, to you.
Our “Seed to Port” Commitment
Choosing the right teak supplier is critical. Sub-standard quality, unreliable supply, or greenwashing can jeopardize your projects and reputation. Snohva “Seed to Port” commitment is your assurance against these risks. We control the entire process
The Genesis
Our founder, Robert, established our first plantations (RH Finca de Maderas Preciosas SRL) with a clear mission: to cultivate premium teak through responsible forestry, ensuring a renewable resource for generations to come. This wasn’t just about planting trees; it was about creating a new standard.
Learning & Growth
The early years were dedicated to mastering plantation management, from meticulous seedling selection to sustainable harvesting techniques. We embraced challenges, learned from the land, and steadily grew our expertise and capacity.
Expansion to Global Sales
Recognizing the demand for reliable, ethically sourced teak, Snohva Holdings Inc. was established in Vancouver, Canada. This enabled us to directly serve wholesalers, distributors, and specifiers across North America and Europe. This experience ensures that Snohva production and quality is aligned with the needs of the industry.
Guided by Principle: Our Core Values in Every Teak Shipment
At Snohva, our values are not just words; they are the bedrock of our operations and the promise we make to our partners. These principles ensure that when you choose MysTeak, you choose a partner committed to integrity, excellence, and a sustainable future.
Uncompromising Quality
From seedling selection and a dedicated focus on labour intensive pruning and thinning, to precision milling and rigorous grading, our focus is on delivering premium teak that meets the exacting standards of our clients. We invest in the long-term health of our trees to ensure superior, consistent quality.
The Expertise Behind Your Teak: Our Team
Snohva is more than just a plantation; it’s a team of passionate individuals dedicated to delivering the finest sustainable teak and fostering strong partnerships. The collective experience of our field and production teams operating throughout the entire supply chain allows us step by step quality control at every level of development and this in turn ensures quality, reliability and transparency.

In Recognition of Our Workers
It takes a small group of dedicated people, workers and professionals to take a teak seedling and professionally manage the growth, harvest and production cycle all the way to our customers.
