Way To Quality

STEP BY STEP TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY

Our commitment to delivering the highest quality begins with meticulous attention to detail at every step of the process, facilitated by computer-controlled workflows and seamless freight logistics. To guarantee consistency, color integrity, and structural perfection in our wood products, we subject them to a series of detailed work and finishing procedures.

Yet, even with our embrace of modern methods and technology, it is important for us to consider the individual properties of the different types of wood. For us quality is not only the goal, it is the way to go.

Below you will find the stages our logs undergo before reaching you as a completed sawn timber package.

1. Purchasing

As a hardwood sawmill, purchasing logs is the most important thing for us. To ensure that we can offer our customers the quality they need, we carefully select our raw materials to ensure they meet the exacting standards our customers expect. Every log undergoes thorough inspection before the purchase, and we prioritize sourcing from FSC® and PEFC-certified forests.

2. Sorting

Before cutting, each log is reinspected at our yard and graded according to quality and length.

3. Sawing

Utilizing state-of-the-art inclined block band saws, our cutting process is able to help the main log slip better, reducing the occurrence of cracks. This is the latest technology in the field of log traversability - the distortion-free fixing of the logs on the log carriage is particularly gentle on the logs. Prior the actual cutting operation, each log undergoes automatic debarking and root reduction. This is followed by two separating cuttings in order to be able to sort and separate the separated planks more qualitatively afterwards.

4. Stacking

The sawn planks go through another quality sorting process. Thanks to our five sorting stations, we are flexible and can assign each board to the appropriate package in terms of quality, length and characteristics. Our stacking system enables semi-automatic and automatic stacking.

5. Steaming

Within our steaming chambers, the wood is subjected to hot steam for several days, resulting in enhanced coloration and improved processing properties.

6. Storage

All packages in open-air drying are covered with metal sheets. Oak lumber is air-dried for 1.5 to 3 years to preserve its superior quality and color consistency before undergoing kiln drying.

7. Drying

Through a series of vacuum and conventional drying chambers, we control the moisture content of the sawn timber to meet our customers' specifications, we ensure that the measuring points are positioned in the area of the core planks. We only commence drying operations upon receipt of an order to ensure the wood moisture content upon delivery meets the requisite standards.

8. Trimming

Dimensional accuracy and prevention of warping are ensured through post-drying edging processes. Our double edger separates the tree edges from the planks, maintaining precision throughout.

9. Delivery

Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends to our delivery processes, where customers have the flexibility to mix timber types, thicknesses, qualities, conditions, and lengths within each load. Our delivery terms encompass EXW or CIF for export shipments.
