About STIA

Sabah Timber Industries Association STIA, (formerly known as the Sabah Sawmilling Industries Association) was formed on 28 March, 1981 and was incorporated in the year 1983.

This Association changed its name to Sabah Timber Industries Association (STIA) in 1993 to reflect more accurately the composition of our membership which now encompasses both upstream (FMUs/plantation) and downstream processing industries such as sawmilling, plywood and veneer manufacturing, LVL production, moulding, finger-joint, lamination, solid door, wood chips, wood pellets, timber traders, exporters, importers and customised building material for resort, houses, etc. utilizing both tropical and plantation timber. All products from Sabah are supported by Sabah Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS), a credible Third Party Audited System developed by State Government of Sabah and all relevant stakeholders.
