Production

Our integrated, comprehensive approach

Wood is a renewable raw material, the use of which requires responsible management and careful handling of available resources. The integration of a sawmill, a biomass cogeneration plant and a pellet plant enables us to link the various stages of our wood processing and utilise available resources within the production process.

A study by the Bayerisches Zentrum für Angewandte Energieforschung (Bavarian Institute for Applied Research on Energy), published in 2008, has recognized our environmentally-friendly methods of production explicitly:

"The installation consisting of a sawmill, a biomass-driven heating and power system and a pellet production plant, established at Sägewerk Schwaiger, corresponds to the capacity. The optimal result, which was noticed concerning carbon footprint and primary energy consumption, is based on the integral overall programme. This overall programme serves as a role model and should be an example for future projects."
