We extract value from wood down to the last fibre and beyond. Our location in the middle of a landscape characterised by mountains, forests, meadows and water shows us every day how valuable intact habitats with their diverse ecosystems are. Based on this holistic, green approach, we do everything we can to work even better and more resource-efficiently than prescribed wherever possible in terms of environmental limits and requirements and to treat water, air and soil with care.
Wood – Regional and sustainable resource
AustroCel Hallein relies on spruce wood from sustainable forestry as its most important raw material and plays a pioneering role in the material use of wood.
We use almost exclusively sawmill residue from the timber industry – wood that is not suitable for higher-value use.
AustroCel Hallein sources its wood from companies within a 200-kilometer radius and relies on rail transport wherever possible. Other raw materials such as chemicals or additives are also preferably supplied regionally and by rail.
Long-term partnerships with forest owners and sawmills ensure a stable and sustainable supply, ideally PEFC-certified.
