North-Rhine Westphalia is an ideal location for us as a large customer for all types of softwood.  Approximately 26% of the state area is covered with forestry agriculture. The Brilon location in Upper Sauerland is especially known for its vast forest areas. The main species in these woodlands is european whitewood (Picea abies). Besides softwood saw logs we are also purchasers of industrial wood for our wood materials production, which has been in existence since 1990.

 The new sawmill extends over an area of 200.000 m² adjacent to the wood based panel production site.
