About
Four generations of farming and forestry experience.
Backed by the founders of Indian sandalwood plantation farming in Australia, paired with leading Australian and international experts, Copperhead Sandalwood is at the forefront of the global Indian sandalwood industry.
A proud family business, Copperhead supplies the world’s highest grade sustainable Santalum album. We grow Indian sandalwood sustainably in Australia’s awe-inspiring East Kimberley region and Northern Queensland, and supply premium sandalwood products to markets through our growers.
As native Indian sandalwood populations continue to decline, global demand has shifted toward authentic, traceable, plantation-grown sources.
Under strict quality control and expert management, Copperhead grows, harvests, processes and distils pure-origin Indian sandalwood, supplying premium material for fragrance, skincare, traditional medicine, aromatherapy and worship.
Advanced Distillation and Processing Capability
Copperhead operates a state-of-the-art sandalwood distillation and processing facility, representing one of the most advanced operations of its kind in the world.
Purpose-built and technologically sophisticated, the facility enables:
- Precise and consistent extraction of high-grade sandalwood oil, with stable chemical profiles and elevated santalol content required by leading fragrance and flavour houses.
- Integrated processing of logs, chips and powder, with full traceability from plantation to finished oil.
- Scalable, reliable production capacity designed to support long-term global supply requirements.
This capability ensures Copperhead can deliver consistency, reliability and premium quality at scale, meeting the exacting expectations of international partners.
Sustainability Embedded in Practice
Sustainability at Copperhead is built into how we operate — from long-term plantation planning and responsible harvesting to efficient processing and careful resource management.
Our approach ensures Indian sandalwood remains viable for future generations, while supporting growers, landholders and customers through a transparent and responsible supply chain.

We are a trusted supplier to global fragrance and flavour leaders who rely on Copperhead for quality, consistency, traceability and supply certainty. Our long-standing experience and advanced processing capability provide confidence in an industry where reliability matters.
