Silvalis - building on success
Silvalis has firmly established itself as the world’s largest plantation owner and manager of Santalum spicatum—the highly prized Western Australian sandalwood. With over 15,126 hectares under cultivation and more than 19 million trees growing across the Wheatbelt, Silvalis (formerly WA Sandalwood Plantations) stands unchallenged in sustainable, large-scale production of native sandalwood (Your Site Title).
Sustainable Leadership & Scale
Founded in 2001 by Keith Drage and Ron Mulder, Silvalis has led the evolution from small-scale agroforestry to a major forestry asset manager. Starting from just 15 hectares, the company now commands the largest S. spicatum estate globally—delivering institutional-grade plantation management with a focus on long-term growth and ecological stewardship (WASP).
Full Lifecycle Control
Silvalis offers an integrated service: establishing plantations, managing them through every growth cycle, overseeing harvest and processing, and exporting to global markets. As of 2025, the company exports approximately 1,400 tonnes annually—marking a threefold increase from 450 t in 2023 to 1,400 t in 2025 (LinkedIn). Their Canning Vale facility processes logs, chips, and powder, ensuring quality and consistency from farm to final product (LinkedIn).
Global Reach & Market Impact
Silvalis supplies premium S. spicatum products—logs, chips, powders, and oils—to key markets across Asia, particularly China, India, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Malaysia (Countryman). Its focus on sustainable harvesting practices supports booming demand while preserving wild populations by reducing pressure on natural forests.
Commitment to Sustainability & Community
Beyond plantation success, Silvalis supports ethical harvesting partnerships with Traditional Owners and focuses on regenerative forestry. They foster environmental and social benefits—combining economic growth with cultural respect and biodiversity protection (Your Site Title).
