German timber processor making sawn wood, engineered beams, CLT and pellets
ante-Gruppe is a family-owned wood processor turning sustainably sourced logs into structural timber, cross-laminated panels and wood pellets. Its stack is dominated by Siemens automation (TIA Portal, STEP 7, WinCC, SIMATIC S7, Profibus), and hiring skews heavily toward junior and mid-level manufacturing roles. Together with a PLC and drive-technology project and a new wet-chip mill, that points to active plant modernization and capacity expansion.
ante-Gruppe is a German timber company founded in 1927 and headquartered in Allendorf (Eder)-Somplar, Hessen. It operates sites in Germany and Poland and employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people. Its product range includes sawn timber, structural solid wood (KVH), glued laminated timber (BSH), cross-laminated timber (BSP), house and garden products, and pellets. The company uses the full log: sawn wood becomes building products, chips become pellets, and bark is used for energy generation.
ante-Gruppe runs Siemens industrial automation (TIA Portal, STEP 7, WinCC, SIMATIC S7, Profibus) with CNC equipment, plus SQL Server, VMware vSphere, Intune, Power BI, Adobe Creative Cloud and Google Ads.
