About
EAGON has been manufacturing building products for over 50 years. We supply markets around the world including North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. We make products that value living in harmony with nature while simultaneously protecting and regerating natural resources.
Eagon USA Corp. was established on March 19, 1980 in Bellevue, WA. At its inception, its business was intended to streamline securing North American raw material for its parent company in Korea. Through the years, Eagon USA Corp. has diversified its offerings and is now actively trading various forest products and building materials in and out of North America.
Our History
In 1980, Eagon became the first Korean company to develop marine container flooring plywood and began to diversify its customer base away from ordinary plywood. In the same year, Eagon USA Corp. was established in the United States as Eagon's wholly owned subsidiary to supply raw materials and semi-finished products to Eagon and to third parties.
Currently Eagon has five overseas subsidiaries and two overseas offices engaged in a variety of activities, from wood products and windows to other building materials.
As sourcing for raw material became increasingly difficult and more costly, Eagon in 1989 established Eagon Resources Development Company in the Solomon Islands and acquired logging rights to 300,000 hectares of virgin forest from the local government.
Eagon established Forestal Lautaro S.A. (now Eagon Lautaro) in Chile in 1993 for the production of veneer and plywood. Eagon established Eagon Pacific Plantation Limited for ogging and reforestation activities in the Solomon Islands in January 1996.

OUR VALUE
We believe that the first step of a design plan is to listen to the customers and understand their needs. To provide products that satisfy our customers, we make full use of our own product research institute. We test our products to achieve optimal quality, design, and configurations according to our customers' wants and needs.
The word "innovation" is a compound of "in" and "now", meaning "to renew from the inside." Our product innovation focuses on continuously improving and developing our own products, rather than imitating others'. We strive to make our products suitable for holistic interior design that reflects modern trends and customer needs.
Our core belief is that innovation creates well-functioning, beautiful designs that work in harmony with our customers' living environments. EAGON will not cease to put our best efforts towards achieving our core belief and providing quality products.
EAGON sets high importance on returning the love and favor to the local community.
