Sustainable timber — what lies behind it
Timber from FSC®- and PEFC-certified forests
This labelling tells you about the sustainable and environmentally responsible cultivation and harvesting of trees. No clear-cutting, no illegal deforestation and responsible biodiversity.
FSC® — Forest Stewardship Council
The FSC® certificate (Forest Stewardship Council) confirms that the timber we process originates from responsibly managed forests. It is one of the most recognised global standards for sustainable forestry and the wood industry.
The Chain of Custody certification documents timber flow from forest to finished product — seamlessly and independently audited. The certification process is conducted by TÜV NORD CERT.
Ask us about FSC®-certified products.
PEFC — Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
Our round timber and construction timber originate from German and European forests — certified to both PEFC and FSC®. Both standards share the same goal: traceable timber origin and sustainable forestry.
Some clients or architects require a specific seal for their project. We can supply either — tell us the desired standard, we document the supply chain.

FSC® & PEFC
Sustainable forestry — what the seals really mean
FSC® and PEFC share the same goal: forests should be permanently preserved — economically, ecologically and socially. No clear-cutting, no illegal deforestation, responsible biodiversity.
The difference lies in approach: FSC® is an international standard with a focus on biodiversity. PEFC is a European standard with a decentralised audit structure that particularly strengthens regional forestry.
- FSC® — international standard with a focus on biodiversity and social compatibility
- PEFC — European standard with a decentralised audit structure and regional forests
- Chain of Custody — complete documentation from trunk to plank
