QUALITY THROUGH TRADITION

 

... for over 70 years, everything has revolved around wood. A long time, during which we have experienced many successes and many experiences, making us what we are today - one of the largest woodworking companies in Europe, with 1600 employees at six locations in Europe.

INČUKALNS

The largest, most productive and lowest-emission sawmill in the entire Baltic region is currently being built at the Inčukalns site: new sawing line, two sorting centres, new log yard, new planing line. Cutting capacity 1 million FM p.a.

HIRSCHBERG

Despite the complexity, the construction of our new glulam production facility in Hirschberg progressed extremely quickly and is expanding our production by 60,000 m³/a of glulam. KVH as well as duo and trio beams can be produced in parallel. An important investment for our brand.

The high-performance sawmill with three sorting lines and an impressive cutting capacity of 1.2 million cubic meters (FM) per year combines innovation with maximum efficiency.

SAWMILL WÖRT

Our success story began 75 years ago, in 1948, as a small small-scale sawmill for mine timber. Since then, we have developed into one of the largest sawmill groups in Europe.
