The Federation of timber processing companies, known under the acronym FIB, is a trade union created on March 24, 2006 and has its own legal personality. At the end of the legal review on the conversion of old forest titles into forest concession contracts, its members hold 69% of the acreage on forest concessions granted in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The FIB has a triple mission, namely:

  • Promote the interests of the timber industry to participate in the integral development of the community. To this end, it works for the sustainable management of forest resources.
  • Representing public authorities, national and international organizations, the wood industry on issues related to the exploitation and sustainable management of forests, the processing industry and the international timber trade.
  • Advise forestry companies in the interpretation of legal and regulatory provisions, both national and foreign, collect and disseminate among the members.
