As the market leader for rift lamellae in Central Europe, we only process sawn wood of the very best quality at our sawmill in Eppenstein. We are one, of the largest producers and marketers of high quality austrian larch in Europe.<\/p>\n

We employ around 60 employees and supply well-known woodworking companies in Austria and abroad. The average annual cutting volume of logs is around 100.000 cube meters. Our sawmill is equipped with a frame saw, a band sawmill, circular re-saws, automatic sorting and packaging systems as well as drying chambers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” anchor=”core_competences” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image=”723″ background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”320px”][vc_column_text el_class=”white title_full_width”]<\/p>\n

This wood, mostly cut down in winter, matures in the protected alpine regions of Austria. Due to the severe environmental conditions, this wood grows slower and has a particularly fine structure \u2013 a sign of healthy growth in unspoiled surroundings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]As a sawmill processing logs with large diameters, In the late 1980\u2019s Schaffer Holz established its reputation as a leader in processing logs with large diameters. The latest \u201eband saw technology\u201d, which is very precise and flexible, enables us to maximise the opportunities to extract the best timber and cut logs with a diameter of up to 120 cm.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_text_separator title=”Rift Cut” title_align=”separator_align_left” border=”no”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]The rift cut is a radial cut, in which the annual rings are set as square to the width of the board as possible. The rift cut considerably improves the dimensional stability of timber and prevents the warping of timber cross-sections.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]Schaffer Holz specialises in the cutting of round timber with top end log diameters of over 50 cm in spruce and 36 cm in larch. These logs produce an especially large proportion of timber with upright annual rings and without heartwood. It hardly cracks, expands, contracts or shrinks. Furthermore it is characterised by a very high tensile strength.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_text_separator title=”Austrian Larch” title_align=”separator_align_left” border=”no”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]Larch is extremely stable and has good tensile properties, particularly suited for outdoor applications. For example, glued timber made of larch is used for structural bridge construction.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]For indigenous larch, Schaffer Holz is one of the largest selling and processing companies in Austria. We cut only finely grown, large dimensioned larch timber from the Styrian mountains in Austria. In our export markets of Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Slovenia, Slovakia and Spain, larch from Schaffer Holz is held in high esteem.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” anchor=”working_at_schaffer” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image=”724″ background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”320px”][vc_column_text el_class=”white title_full_width”]<\/p>\n

His activities were on a modest scale, producing some 2.000 solid meters of timber per year, on leased property. Three years later, in 1917, he purchased the premises and subsequently lead the company through two World Wars and The Great Depression.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_text_separator title=”1950″ title_align=”separator_align_left” border=”no”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]In 1950<\/strong>, his son Gotthard took over the saw mill and used the period of post war economic recovery to expand the company. In the 1970, 18 people were employed at the sawmill and 30 more as woodcutters. The volume of cut timber increased tenfold since the foundation of the company.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_text_separator title=”1986″ title_align=”separator_align_left” border=”no”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]In 1986<\/strong>, a substantial step towards securing the future was taken, when Schaffer decided to concentrate on processing large dimensional logs. Gotthard\u2019s sun, Johann Schaffer, managing director since 1987 concentrated on this method to take \u201cthe best from of every log\u201d for his customers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_text_separator title=”2015″ title_align=”separator_align_left” border=”no”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]In 2015<\/strong>, the company was handed over by Johann Schaffer to his children, the fourth generation, who will continues this endeavour.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column]
