best wood in the best sense
The future is built on wood So best wood remains the best building material
Wood is the most sustainable building material - and will remain so if it continues to be processed regionally and in a way that conserves resources. This is exactly where we come in: The timber from best wood SCHNEIDER always goes through a complete value chain. This means: we rely on regional wood, short transport routes and innovative production processes - and all of this in a closed operational cycle that really uses everything from the tree. From raw material cut from roundwood to the last chip pressed as a pellet, everything is utilised.
Our wood products: certified sustainable and energy-efficient
We place the highest value on an energy-efficient manufacturing process in the production and processing of all our products. To this end, we have certified our company according to DIN EN ISO 50001 and thus officially committed ourselves to society and the environment. The particularly good values we achieve in the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and in the tests for the natureplus® seal prove our especially sustainable manufacturing process and the ecological quality of our wood and wood fibre products.

The best wood SCHNEIDER material cycle
Regional raw materials
Because we love our homeland, we place the highest value on environmentally friendly production on site. For this reason, the majority of our products are made from regional spruce from PEFC-certified, domestic forests. For special visible qualities, Scandinavian woods are used at the customer's request. Our own fleet of lorries can transport roundwood back when final products are delivered. This allows us to use wood from the regions where our products are also installed and saves us long transport routes.

Sustainable sawmill
Even in the past, sawmills were operated with sustainable energies, for example hydropower. We are continuing this tradition. Thus, our sawmill forms the first "cut" in an ecological production cycle that is particularly resource-saving and value-adding:
We feed the residual wood and bark from sawing into the biomass cogeneration plant to generate energy for our production. Only wood that can no longer be processed is used here. Wood chips are used in the production of wood fibres and pellets are made from wood shavings and sawdust.

Structural timber and ceiling production
The sawn timber from the sawmill is now processed into various glulam, CLT and KVH lines of sustainable timber products for structural and modern timber construction. Wood shavings and sawdust are used for the production of pellets. Residual wood is fed directly into the company's own biomass cogeneration plant.

Production of wood fibre insulation boards
The wood chips from the wood processing go directly into the wood fibre insulation board production. This takes place in one of the most modern production facilities for flexible and pressure-resistant wood fibre insulation materials. Here, wood chips are processed into best wood SCHNEIDER® wood fibre insulation boards in an energy-saving dry process in a continuous production line.

Regional pellets
We process the wood shavings on site into ENplus A1 certified spruce pellets. These are ahead of fossil fuels in terms of their eco-balance and the energy required for their production is covered by our own biomass power plant. In short: sustainable, practical, good.

Own logistics
For the best possible delivery times, we deliver our timber, our wood fibre insulation materials and our wood pellets with our own trucks. With our in-house route planner, we can plan each tour efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner - and also transport logs back to our plant with specific trucks in the same stuff after delivering our products to the construction site. Here, too, we make a contribution to CO² reduction.

Biomass power plant
Our biomass cogeneration plant is fired with bark and residual wood that can no longer be recycled and thus generates environmentally friendly energy - as much as is needed at the site. The resulting process heat is primarily used for drying the wood fibres for our insulation materials, for hall heating and drying sawn timber, as well as in pellet production.

Good for nature, good for everybody. Tested, certified.
PEFC is a transparent and independent system for ensuring sustainable forest management and thus a global "forest MOT". Forest certification according to PEFC standards is based on very strict guidelines for the sustainable management of forests. This management is controlled by competent and independent organisations.
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) presents the life cycle of a building product as well as information relevant to building physics and in general. The Environmental Product Declaration is drawn up in accordance with the DIN EN 15804 standard and thus ensures a uniform assessment and comparability of EPDs.
