The Chamber of Commerce of Cantabria, Spain, in collaboration with The Spain-US Chamber of Commerce organized the visit to the State of Oregon for the Association of wood entrepreneurs of Cantabria (Asociación Cántabra de Empresarios de la Madera y del Comercio del Mueble). This visit took place from March 10th to March 16th 2008.

The delegation visited various sawmills along with the wood technology Clinic & Show. The main purpose of this visit was to not only meet potential business partners but also to further their knowledge about Oregon’s wood sector, the largest in the United States.

In conclusion, the delegation was very satisfied with the work done by both Chambers. We are sure that the contacts and experience which was obtained during this visit is sure to be applied in furthering their endeavors.
