Chris Putrimas, Owner & CEO of Teak Warehouse, has spent over 20 years mastering the art of teak. His journey began in the boating world, where he built a thriving maintenance business before launching Dr. Teak, a premier teak refinishing company. In 2021, he took the next step in his career and acquired Teak Warehouse, transforming it into a more streamlined and innovative company. Under his leadership, Teak Warehouse has undergone significant changes, including a refined product selection, the consolidation of warehouse operations, the introduction of a custom fabric line, and a complete overhaul of the company’s website to enhance the customer experience. Having visited Indonesia’s sustainable teak plantations firsthand, he is committed to promoting responsibly sourced materials that stand the test of time. Originally from Connecticut, Chris’ early years working on boats shaped his expertise in wood care and craftsmanship—a foundation that continues to influence his approach to designing and curating high-quality outdoor furniture today.
