Calcutta Timber Merchants Association (CTMA) - Welcome to CTMA (Since 1935)

What We Do

Strengthening the Timber Trade Since 1935

For nearly nine decades, the Calcutta Timber Merchants Association (CTMA) has served as the unified and trusted voice of the timber industry in Kolkata and across West Bengal. Established in 1935, CTMA was founded with the vision of bringing timber merchants under a single credible platform — one that safeguards their interests, promotes ethical business practices, and strengthens industry unity.

Over the years, CTMA has played a pivotal role in representing timber traders, manufacturers, importers, exporters, saw mills, and allied professionals before government bodies and regulatory authorities. From addressing tax matters and compliance challenges to supporting members during crisis situations, the association ensures that businesses operate with confidence and clarity.

Committed to transparency, responsible sourcing, and sustainable trade practices, CTMA continues to bridge tradition with modern governance. By fostering collaboration, promoting fair trade, and encouraging environmentally responsible growth, we work toward building a resilient, future-ready timber ecosystem for generations to come.
