CORK ATTRIBUTES
The name Dodge and Cork have been synonymous since 1871. The relaunch of Dodge Cork Company is founded on the need to streamline the sourcing of cork stoppers, plugs, and closures.
RESPONSIBLE
Over half the extracted cork is used in the manufacture of all types of stoppers, the rest being used in other applications. Thus the cork and wine industries share the same responsibility; not only do they maintain a key economic activity but also contribute to the visibility of the cork oak forest.
SUSTAINABLE
Cork's sustainability is based on biology and is incontestable, recognized by the World Wildlife Fund the Rainforest Alliance and other environmental organizations. The bark is harvested without damage to the tree, which after harvesting immediately begins to grow new bark. After nine years the bark is ready to be harvested again.
UNIQUE
Just like cork stoppers, Dodge Cork is unlike any other cork company, operating today. We pride ourselves on providing extraordinary customer service, product knowledge, technical experts, and a commitment to sustainable products. We have carried on the unique craft of harvesting the benefits of the wood without harming a tree.
