MISSION STATEMENT

Our
mission

Our products ensure the preservation of cultural beauty and allow craftsmen with a passion for traditional construction to do their work.

Our niche

We produce extremely long, naturally grown wooden beams from local forests. These enable the restoration of listed buildings throughout Europe. Our products ensure the preservation of cultural beauty and allow craftsmen with a passion for traditional construction methods to do their work.

This does not prevent us from supplying our customers with professionally produced woods in the usual delivery time and quantity.

The forest

The soul forest has been in the possession of the Thurn and Taxis family for many generations, whose sustainable management has always been oriented towards generations. The forest supplies the region with wood. Large-scale clear-cutting does not occur, the forest floor is kept healthy, so strong, resistant woods grow there, which can survive for hundreds of years when used in construction.

Our products

We source our wood from the Seelenwald, our sawmill located in direct proximity to the forest. 40,000 cubic meters leave our plant annually – they are a sought-after raw material for the construction industry throughout Europe. When there are specific requirements, the industry quickly knows – this is a case for the Seelenwald. Due to the geographical location in Kanzach in Baden-Württemberg, the trees can be cut and transported in their full length – this is not possible in alpine regions due to the transportation routes in steep terrain. This allows us to receive tree trunks with lengths of up to 20 or 25 meters. Our production facility saws beams up to 15 meters long and planes up to 12 meters long. Primarily, we work with spruce, larch, and Douglas fir.

Our passion

Wood is a wonderful material that enables sustainable and future-oriented construction. Our products are perfect for the multi-story construction of wooden high-rise buildings. A construction method that will shape the construction industry of the future. We are able to produce large quantities of this special quality for Europe.

Our vision is to make the construction industry more sustainable by making multi-story timber construction more future-ready with our quality wood. Everything needed for multi-story timber construction grows in our forest.

Maximilian Martin

I come from a family business in the timber industry and initially studied business administration in Vienna. The sawmill Seelenwald was looking for a successor who should continue the business in line with the owners' intentions - so I worked in the ongoing operation for a year to get to know it exactly, as well as to be able to establish relationships with suppliers and customers. Due to the favorable starting position and my education, it was possible to convince the bank, so that I could start as the new owner and managing director of the timber sawmill and timber trading company GmbH at the age of 25.

The most important thing in such a company is the loyal male and female employees. I was able to take over the entire workforce and they all stayed – their loyalty and competence are essential factors for our success.

Equally important are our trusting relationships with the suppliers – forest owners bear a high risk and are repeatedly confronted with natural disasters. We are convinced that it is more rewarding in the long run to pay decent wood prices even when a lot of wood has to be sold quickly. We always stay on an equal footing and have the experience that we always receive the best quality delivered.
