Quality
Forest oak and beech logs selected according to the market and country-specific requirements, rapid execution at the sawmill in order to preserve the raw material;
Know-how
- Sawing accuracy owing to a double-cutting band-saw with slabber, a Grecon with laser detection and digitally-controlled optimisation, experienced staff
- Steaming for uniform coloration of planks
- Pre-drying using specific anti-stain sticks
- Vacuum drying technique with high capacity dryer adapted to greater thicknesses in addition to the tried and tested technique of variable ventilation drying
- High accuracy planing and grooving with a good finish owing to a planing machine turning at 8 000 rpm
- Heat treatment in ovens, increasing the natural durability of the wood

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION :
- In the manufacturing processes: vegetable oil for cutting tools, exploitation of by-products, electric vehicles.
- Bark recycling: biomass boiler using the bark, avoiding its transportation and the pollution induced, ensuring the heating of the workshops to improve working conditions.
- Raw material management: the residues of boards transformed into chipwood, dried providing renewable energy for communal boilers.
