Scellec Teca Ltd

Scellec Teca Ltd. is a specialist teak‑forestry investment company that creates commercially sustainable opportunities for institutional investors in Colombia. Founded in December 2018, the firm acquires former cattle grassland and transforms it into high‑quality teak plantations, adhering to the strictest technical and environmental standards. Its mission is to build a sector of excellence in Colombian teak that is both commercially responsible and socially beneficial.

The company’s portfolio already includes the acquisition of roughly 4,000 ha of grassland, with more than 2,700 ha successfully planted and FSC‑certified. Scellec Teca’s in‑house nurseries produce best‑in‑class Colombian teak seedlings, while its expert team ensures rigorous due‑diligence on legal, technical, social and environmental fronts. Beyond financial returns, the operation generates significant social impact – employing over 320 people during planting seasons and delivering educational programmes in partnership with Santo Tomás University. Environmental stewardship is central, with proactive carbon‑sequestration strategies, protection of wildlife corridors for jaguars, and support for native bee populations. Scellec Teca therefore offers investors a stable, resilient asset class that delivers both robust returns and measurable positive outcomes.
