Binderholz, a leading manufacturer of solid wood products, has unveiled its new solid wood panel plant in St. Georgen bei Salzburg, marking a significant step in the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability. This state-of-the-art facility is now recognised as one of the most modern and efficient solid wood panel factories in the world. The plant is designed to produce a wide range of solid wood panels, all crafted to meet the highest ecological standards while ensuring maximum efficiency.
The new plant offers a comprehensive product range, including 1-, 3-, and 5-ply solid wood panels, Decorative Micro CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber), roof construction panels, and custom panels. These products serve multiple industries, from timber construction and furniture manufacturing to interior fit-out projects. The flexibility and versatility of these panels make them highly attractive for various applications, providing a significant advantage for construction professionals and designers alike.
Versatility and Application of Solid Wood Panels
The solid wood panels produced at Binderholz’s St. Georgen plant are known for their wide range of applications. They are suitable for both external and internal use, making them ideal for a variety of construction projects. The panels are highly stable, compact, and strong, yet relatively lightweight, which contributes to their ease of handling and installation.
One of the standout features of these panels is their durability. The material is not only easy to process but also designed to withstand the rigours of everyday use, ensuring long-lasting performance. Various surface and edge processing options are available, allowing for customization according to specific project needs. Whether it’s for sleek furniture designs or robust building structures, the possibilities are virtually endless.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Production
Sustainability has been a core focus in the development of the St. Georgen facility. The production plant was designed with the highest ecological standards in mind. The plant itself spans an impressive 180 x 40 metres and includes a high-bay warehouse with a height of 27 metres, optimised for efficient storage. A key feature of the plant is the fully automated two-row high-bay warehouse, made entirely from solid wood, which not only enhances the factory’s operational efficiency but also showcases Binderholz’s commitment to using renewable materials.
Binderholz’s responsible approach to sourcing wood is further exemplified by its zero-waste production principle. The company ensures that every part of the tree is put to use, from raw timber to waste wood. The waste generated during production is processed into densified biofuels, contributing to the company’s overall sustainability goals. In addition, the plant generates green electricity, which powers the production process, and waste wood is also transformed into pressboard pallets and pressed pallet blocks.
Custom and Specialised Wood Solutions
Binderholz also offers a wide range of custom wood solutions. In addition to its 3-ply solid wood panels made from spruce, pine, larch, and Douglas fir, the plant produces special panels made from Swiss pine, steamed wood, and antique wood options. These panels are particularly popular in the DIY sector, where tailor-cut panels and underfloor panels are in high demand. The plant also offers a variety of profiles, including tongue and groove panels with chamfered edges, providing additional flexibility for different types of projects.
