WERTHOLZ – The service provider to the industry
Central to companies in the cellulose, paper and chipboard industry is to ensure a continuous and uninterrupted raw material supply of their works. The buying market for roundwood, however, is highly competitive. It follows its own rules, so without good knowledge of the market and excellent market connections, it can be very difficult to ensure the required security of supply. WERTHOLZ takes over all the tasks necessary to ensure that the required quantities of industrial timber in the specified dimensions and qualities are available to industrial companies on time. Industrial timber is the optimal raw material for:
|
|
By request of suppliers, WERTHOLZ takes care of the processing operations involved with all the timber we purchase. In such cases, we work exclusively with selected processing companies that comply with our strict quality standards. 
| | - Comprehensive advisory service on the timber harvesting measures to be taken
- Ensuring that all the legal and business standards are taken into account
- Optimum development of the harvested wood
- Removal of timber on time
- Work in the stand and on forest roads is done with great care
|
Depending on the requirements, the timber is prepared mechanically-manually, using ropeways, harvesters or processors. |
|
Procuring industrial timber is different altogether from purchasing any other raw materials needed by the industry. By the time the industrial timber is ready for the production process, services provided by a number of involved parties – from timber harvesting to timber preparation, transport and storage management – have to be co-ordinated. WERTHOLZ relieves its customers from this burden, thus making the whole procurement process straightforward and easy to schedule. |
|
In order to be able to buy timber in the required quality and quantity, not only good market connections, but also comprehensive knowledge on business and legal standards are required. Equally necessary are the relevant timber trade usances that may differ, depending on where the timber is purchased. More than 40 years of market experience guarantee WERTHOLZ customers that the amount of industrial timber they require will be available at the agreed time, according to their specifications. Acting as our customers’ “external purchasing department”, we offer security of supply at the best price-performance ratio available. |
|
Production processes differ, depending on the industry. That is why the used raw materials must be adapted to suit the specifications of the individual works. WERTHOLZ is provided with state-of-the-art sorting plants and mobile and stationary debarking equipment. At our location in Fürnitz, around 150,000 solid cubic metres of roundwood are sorted, debarked and processed each year to meet our customers’ requirements. Our well trained staff ensures that our industrial timber complies with the following specifications: - Type of wood
- Wood quality
- Dimensions (length and diameter)
- Moisture
|
|
Due to the relatively low merchandise value of industrial timber, transportation costs are reflected noticeably in the overall purchasing costs. Organising cost-efficient transport that guarantees punctual goods delivery requires staff with plenty of experience. WERTHOLZ has all the experts needed to arrange transport by road, rail or ship. |
|
By request, we also organise roundwood storage sites for our customers, and take care of: - The necessary operative activities (e.g. measuring, inventories, etc.)
- Quality control
- Monitoring
and make sure that the relevant safety standards are adhered to. In accordance with the developed delivery schedules, we ensure that the defined quantities of industrial timber are delivered on time. To our customers, outsourcing deposit management to WERTHOLZ specialists means lower overall costs and higher security. |
