Expertise and Quality

Danzer Group is a wood processing company focusing on the top-quality segment. We process high-quality logs into beautiful, fine veneer. Wood species suitable for decorative uses are a scarce raw material and must be put to the best-possible use. Danzer experts appraise the quality of every log. Only high-quality logs verified legal sources are used in our production. Danzer Group uses state-of-the-art technology and equipment to guarantee the best-possible utilization of this valuable raw material.

Business Unit Veneer

Danzer Group operates six veneer factories and five sawmills in Europe, North America and Africa, making it the world’s largest manufacturer of hardwood veneers. Depending on the region they come from, only between 1 and 5 percent of all trees in a forest are suitable for being made into high-quality veneer. This product is used in a wide variety of sectors, such as the furniture and door industry, in automobile, boat and aircraft building, as well as interior decoration and shop fitting.

In the recent years, Danzer Group has laid the foundation for a more attractive offering and even closer partnership with customers. We offer customized, user-friendly preparation of veneer and close coordination between production and purchase operations. We have enhanced the quality of our products through the implementation of innovative manufacturing technology. Customers who process veneer benefit from this innovation through higher yields, which reduce the costs of the finished wood surfaces.

Business Unit Lumber

Lumber production is Danzer Group’s other important business division. Here too, the company concentrates on lumber as high-value material used for decorative purposes. Danzer Group is counted among the leading producers of hardwood lumber in North America. The company runs three sawmills there, with two additional plants located in Africa. The Lumber Division will continue expanding, with additional capacity being added in North America. Danzer Group’s large, industrial sawmills, which are equipped with high-tech optimization and grading systems,  ensure a consistent product. Our sawmills are located specifically in areas where high-value hardwoods are growing. This means we can offer products from the prime growing areas of the respective species.

Business Unit Timber

Only a very small percentage of the available logs meet Danzer Group’s highest-quality standards and are suitable for our veneer and lumber production. This is why Danzer Group also deals in timber products. Danzer Group’s trading activities involve high-quality hardwoods. The company carries all of the most important wood species available from tropical as well as temperate forests. With our extensive inventory, we can supply customers with practically any kind of hardwood they ask for. Danzer Group also buys and manages its own forests to secure a long-term supply of high-quality woods. Forest regeneration is key to ensuring a secure supply of quality trees for future production.
Our forest management is sustainable and value-oriented. We concentrate on those trees with the highest long-term quality potential. We perform extensive forest inventories of trees and animals, and build roads or bridges. Our projects are laid out for time periods of 20 to 40 years.

Business Unit Vinterio

Vinterio is Danzer Group’s newest business unit. Vinterio meets market demands for a more modern wooden surface. Consumers demand the beauty and quality of genuine, high-value wood procured according to the highest environmental standards. Natural surfaces have to be easy and cost-effective to process while offering uniform high-product quality and consistent availability. Customers also demand new designs and a wide variety of applications. Vinterio products combine all of these qualities. They meet the highest customer demands for quality and aesthetics while taking into account individual customer needs. With its own divisions in North America and Europe, Danzer Group keeps a close eye on the needs of its markets. Vinterio can always offer the right product to every customer. Modern production facilities in Darlington, Penn., in the United States, and in Melnik, the Czech Republic, manufacture Vinterio.
