Timbela & Ko together with Raben – fairytale house in your backyard

A children playhouse in your backyard. Or maybe a mysterious workplace where you can work, create and dream undisturbed. These are the wooden houses offered to the Lithuanian and foreign markets by long-standing Raben Lietuva customer - Timbela & Ko.

Timbela & Ko is a sustainable and reliable wood products company with FSC® wood supply chain certification. The wood supply chain certificate confirms that the wood used in production is sourced from responsibly managed forests and that this material is traceable throughout the entire production and trade processes - from the forest manager to the final product manufacturer.

Founded in 1999, the company is engaged in the production and wholesale of wooden products for gardens, houses and farmhouses. Original wooden children playhouses create a world of wonders for kids. Firewood and tool kits of various sizes and styles help you tidy up and decorate your yard. The products are made of high-quality spruce and pine wood.

“After successful cooperation in the Lithuanian market, we were extremely happy that Timbela & Ko also chose Raben Lietuva as a partner for the goods transportation to Italy, Germany and other European countries. We are united not only by business, but also by the same approach to sustainability and ecology.”- comments Vygandas Janulaitis, Sales Manager for Raben Baltic states.

"95% of our production is currently exported to various European Union countries. Amazon is still the largest sales channel for our products, but we also sell large quantities of products through other e-commerce channels such as OBI, Leroy Merlin, Manomano, etc. The customers of these platforms must have the best shopping experience because the image and success of our company depends on it. However, the customer's shopping experience depends not only on the quality of our products: whether they will receive their order on time, whether it will not be damaged, whether the driver will communicate politely - this is also a very big and important part of the experience. This is why we highly value our long-term cooperation with Raben, with whom we have been working for so many years and we see them as a very valuable and long-term partner, with whom we can solve any problems quickly and efficiently.” – comments Ramona Grigaitytė, Timbela & Ko Head of Retail Department.

“During the pandemic, the mutual contribution and effort have surprisingly strengthened our cooperation with Timbela & Ko. We were all forced to stay home for a long time and had to change our way of life and work, as well as our daily routine. Since the usual work in the same room at the same desk was no longer satisfying, we were forced to look for unusual options. People started ordering Timbela products more and more often, which provided a great opportunity to change the working environment, and the wooden playhouse is also a great entertainment for children."- shares his memories Aurimas Pilipavičius, Raben Lietuva Kaunas & Klaipėda Branch Manager. – “We can firmly say that our Timbela‘s teams brought significantly more comfort to their everyday life during the pandemic.“

Time is money. The main customer of Timbela & Ko is a private person living abroad and the main trading platform is Amazon. Businesses that have to deal more closely with Amazon are well aware of the strict rules of cooperation with this corporation. One of the main challenges in delivering goods to Amazon is time. Since Raben core business is groupage transportation, transshipments at each terminal, departures and deliveries must be without any delays – just in time - and a logistics provider must pay special attention to this.

“Today, looking back on the first year of cooperation, we are pleased to see that our client's cargo flows have increased hundreds of times. The search for alternative and sometimes unique solutions every day, efforts to alleviate the problems that arise, to strengthen the cooperation between Raben Lietuva and Timbela & Ko more and more every day.”- comments Vygandas Janulaitis, Sales Manager for Raben Baltic States.

Timbela & Ko and Raben Lietuva have been cooperating since 2013. For this customer, Raben provides domestic and international transport services.
