Global beechwood sawmill and engineered lumber producer
Pollmeier operates eight sawmilling and wood-processing facilities across Europe and Asia, producing beech lumber, cut-to-size components, and laminated veneer lumber (BauBuche, Spruce LVL) for construction, furniture, and door manufacturers. The company is mid-way through a SAP ECC-to-S/4HANA migration while deploying Fiori and BTP—a modernization effort reflected in active hiring across sales (31 open roles), engineering (17), and manufacturing (17). The hiring velocity and multi-country recruitment (Germany, Poland, Austria, Egypt, India, China, and others) signal expansion into new supply chains and geographies.
Founded in 1988, Pollmeier is Europe's largest beechwood sawmill operator, employing over 800 people across eight production locations. The company manufactures solid beech lumber, pre-cut components, and engineered laminated-veneer lumber products sold to construction, furniture, and door industries worldwide. Production is driven by Siemens industrial automation (S7, TIA Portal, PROFINET, Profibus) for machine control and yield optimization. Order-to-delivery is managed through SAP R/3, now transitioning to S/4HANA. A core operational focus is cost competitiveness and sustainable forest sourcing; recent projects include sensor-data analysis for yield improvement, color-difference reduction in BauBuche products, and automated machine-park maintenance.
Pollmeier runs Siemens S7 and TIA Portal for industrial automation, SAP R/3 (migrating to S/4HANA) for ERP, AutoCAD and Inventor for design, and Microsoft Office/SharePoint for collaboration. New deployments include SAP Fiori, SAP BTP, and SAP UI5.
Pollmeier operates eight production locations and actively hires across Germany, Poland, Austria, Egypt, India, China, Kyrgyzstan, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, indicating multi-continent manufacturing and supply-chain expansion.
