The direct wire. On-time and speed count

The firms of Agentur Holz-Sandblicher and timber trading company SAHOLZ Import-Export GmbH in Biebergmünd near Frankfurt, Germany, with a total volume of 150,000 cu m per year of sawn softwood have achieved an interesting position in the European sawn softwood market. Punctuality is an essential criterion in this competitive market, which has settled down to low prices and increasingly well-defined product quality. To provide rapidity and flexibility the companies work with and coordinate with highly mechanized sawmills and timber industries that apply just-in-time production and are expert in logistics. On-time delivery reduces the logistics costs. The companies work with nine large and five small sawmills, glue laminated timber, and a plane goods facility and two timber construction companies. List construction timber is delivered in 2-3 days, laminated timber within a week to customers. The transfer of goods from the sawmill to the customer is seamless. The company supplies Germany, Austria, Italy, The Netherlands, and Spain. Carpentries and timber construction operation are also directly supplied. SAHOLZ Import-Export GmbH now has a purchasing bureau in St. Petersburg and obtains goods from the Czech republic, Slovakia, and Romania.
