We’re proud to share that CAOBA has been honored with Guatemala’s National Export Award by AGEXPORT, the Guatemalan Exporters Association. Alex Kronick, who leads innovation at CAOBA, accepted the award on behalf of our team.

This prestigious award, a recognition in the country for export performance—celebrates innovation, excellence, sustainability, and leadership in the global market. For us, it represents more than recognition. It marks a meaningful milestone in our 42-year journey of exporting high-quality wood products and championing sustainable forestry from Guatemala to the world.

From humble beginnings to a global footprint, our story has been one of determination and vision. This award is a tribute to our founder, Paul Kronick, whose passion built not just a company, but a community. And it is a testament to the incredible CAOBA team, whose commitment to quality, innovation, and craft defines who we are.

Thank you, AGEXPORT, for this incredible honor. It fuels our continued growth and deepens our responsibility to lead with purpose—and to help inspire the next generation of Guatemalan leaders, makers, and dreamers.
