Vertically integrated timber producer with distributed manufacturing across Europe and the US
binderholz is a 6,300-person, family-owned wood products manufacturer operating 61 sites across Europe and North America. The company captures the full timber value chain—from forest management through sawmilling, solid wood products, mass timber, and biofuel byproducts. A manufacturing-heavy hiring push (75 roles) paired with concurrent SAP FI/CO/BW rollout and logistics optimization projects suggests capacity expansion and ERP consolidation across its geographically dispersed operations.
binderholz manufactures solid wood products, engineered timber (Brettsperrholz and Brettschichtlamellen), prefabricated housing components, and industrial packaging from sustainably managed forests. The group sells into construction, DIY retail, and packaging markets. Beyond primary timber products, it extracts secondary value through waste-wood processing: densified biofuels, engineered panels, and composite pallets. The company operates sawmills, drying facilities, and assembly plants across Austria, Germany, France, the US, and the UK, supported by a tech stack centered on SAP (FI, CO, BW, MM, SD, CRM, Transportation Management) and manufacturing control systems (Siemens S7 PLCs, CAD/CAM). Current initiatives focus on production scaling, cross-site process standardization, and digital project planning.
SAP is the core platform, with active rollouts of SAP FI (Finance), SAP CO (Controlling), and SAP BW (Business Warehouse) underway. Also deployed: SAP MM (Materials Management), SAP SD (Sales & Distribution), SAP CRM, and SAP Transportation Management.
Siemens S7 programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with TIA Portal engineering software, integrated into the IT infrastructure. CNC machine control, CAD/CAM systems (Archicad), and SAP MM tie production scheduling to materials planning.
