Since 1909 - Quality made in Germany

Welcome to our website!

Over 100 years ago August Gleitsmann founded a logtrading company in Wipfeld in the north of bavaria. Since then the company has been in family hands - now in the 4th generation of the Gleitsmann family. Approx. 50 employees work at three locations in Unterspiesheim, Bergtheim und Wipfeld. Today we run two hardwood sawmills, a structural timber sawmill and our wood trade. For more information about our regional wood trade for floor coverings, ceilings and wall coverings as well as garden designs, please visit www.gleitsmann-holzhandel.de (German version only).

We are one of the most productive hardwood sawmills in the region processing about 33.000 cbm of logs. We are the hardwood specialist for beech, oak, ash and coloured woods. 

Our customers are large international furniture factories and timber wholesale traders in the European and the Asian market. We are specialists in sawing and kiln drying unedged lumber. We are not producing squares or pieces cut to size.

We have 16 large-capacity drying chambers with more than 10.000 cubic centimeters of chamber space. Thanks to our gentle way of drying, we achieve a maximum of color balance in combination with minimal cracking in the surface.
