About us
from forest nursery to multinational company
What began 40 years ago in the forest nursery of our own forest estate has grown into a forestry business group with 10 locations in Germany and Austria.
In the face of the climate crisis, we make a significant contribution to overcoming the major challenges our forests are facing. Ensuring the future viability of our industry and enhancing the climate resilience of forests are both our goal and motivation. When managed sustainably, forests serve as carbon sinks, preserve biodiversity, and produce a renewable resource.
As part of the Liechtenstein Group , its principles and values guide our actions: sustainability in every form, innovation, transparency, and long-term commitment.
