Vietnam is one of the world’s leading exporters of wood and wood products—ranking 5th globally and 2nd in Asia—and is among the top 4 exporters of bamboo and rattan products to Europe, the United States, and Japan. These figures reflect Vietnam’s abundant natural wood resources and the sophisticated craftsmanship honed over generations.

We see an opportunity in this—combining the sustainable harvesting of local materials like acacia wood, pine wood, and bamboo with the skilled hands of Vietnamese artisans to create high-quality, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing kitchenware products.

Koppen was born with the mission to elevate Vietnam’s rustic materials onto the global stage. We strive to research and apply innovative production technologies, such as chemical-free wood modification, to enhance durability and elevate the customer experience with every Koppen cutting board, tray, or kitchen utensil. We understand the best way to unlock the value of Vietnamese wood and aspire to bring it to the global market, starting with essential kitchenware products for every home.
