Balsa Wood Inc has been created as an logical extension to successful AK-Models Company which specializes in RC Model Airplanes manufacturing and importing. Import and production of Balsa Wood has become necessary for our laser cutting services. Ability to have Balsa Wood, Lite Plywood and Birch Plywood in stock allowed us to process any size laser cutting orders at minimum amount of time. It is also allowed us to control quality of materials we use for laser cutting services and our own model airplane kit manufacturing.

AK-Models Inc has been established in 1996 by Alex Kolyvanov, who has been designing and manufacturing unique line of RC Jets and few other RC Aerobatic models.
