Cyriel Stevens Sr. was already importing timber via Terneuzen at the end of the 19th century and delved into the role of timber broker. His son, Jan Sr., learned the trade at the renowned Antwerp timber importer De Brouck\u00e8re and laid the foundation for Houtimport Stevens in 1936. Even before the war, the company owned its own warehouses in the Port of Antwerp \u2014 a clear sign of growth and vision. After the war, Cyriel Jr. and his family expanded the business. The post-war reconstruction years were golden times for the import of Canadian, American, Scandinavian, and Russian softwood. In the 1970s, his children, Jan Jr. and Monique, took over the leadership. The family story took on a new dimension in 2008 with the arrival of Jan\u2019s daughter. And in 2024, Stevens Hout welcomed a musical addition: Liesbeth Stevens, daughter of Jan Jr. and sister of Ann Stevens, joined the company.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To this day, softwood remains the core product of Stevens Hout. Imported from Canada, Finland, Scandinavia, and the Baltic States, with Russia as a reliable partner.<\/p>\n

<\/b>We want to offer a dignified and ecologically responsible alternative to tropical hardwoods. Thus, we have already included ThermoWood\u00ae in our range 10 years ago. We are a major market player in this field. We have more than 12 thermo modified timbers and this in more than 20 sections and more than 40 profiles. We have all of these brut and planed in stock. When someone thinks of ThermoWood\u00ae, we want people to automatically think of Stevens. We have also created a website entirely focused on providing information about ThermoWood\u00ae en www.THERMenCO.be.<\/p>\n
