WE CARRY EVERY SNOW-CAPPED PEAK, E THE SILENCE OF OUR HEARTS. IT IS OUR V FOR AND THE LOVE OF NATURE IN ITS EV
Green meadows, woodland as far as the eye can see and fresh air to fill your lungs. This is what we were born into and grew up with. This is our land: Dobbiaco, Val Pusteria. Our home and our solid ground. It is where we started from and to where we’ll return. It is, at all events, our point of reference.
EVERY COLOUR OF THE FOREST IN VERY CULTURE, BASED ON RESPECT VERY FORM.
We could not do otherwise Wood is an integral part of our nature. We can’t but love it for what it is. For us, it is an irreplaceable material; it has been with us for generations in our everyday life.
We’re proud of what we do In Alto Adige, the culture of wood is alive and shapes the landscape; it enters into every home and gives life to people. To work in wood is a craft in which one can take pride, handed down from father to son. Respect for this raw natural material has solid roots. It is a question of inherited wisdom and deep conviction. Respect for the environment We import the raw material for our own production from countries where the surface area of woodland is on the increase so as not to put either the environmental balance or the very production of wood at risk. And we work with respect and love to ensure the continuance of that feeling. We look for harmony Nature reassures us and fills us with harmony. We trust it. It’s sincere. It keeps its promises. It teaches us in a way we can apply and make our own. For this reason, we look for authenticity, trust and integrity in everything and everyone.
WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, LEARNING WITH EACH STEP AND PUTTING PAST EXPERIENCE TO GOOD STORE FOR THE FUTURE.
1928 With the opening of the sawmills by Josef Pircher in Dobbiaco, the Pircher story begins. 1947 After taking stock following the enforced closure during the war, Pircher effectively starts again from nothing. 1956 His son, Reinhard, begins to work alongside him in the management of the business which, with the years, grows and expands in production.
A long journey Our story is a journey whose path has been laid down as a foundation, every step of it well thought out. Year after year, progress after progress, the company has become established as a point of reference and as a leader in the market of wood products.
1968 The first original Finnish sauna is completed.
1992 The first beams in laminated wood are produced.
1978 The «Holzmarkt- DIY» range goes into production.

A path of growth At times, we came to a crossroads but we believe we always took the right path, guided by our love of and respect for nature. Along the way, we have met fellow travellers who have told their own story; we have shared experience and know-how in the spirit of exchanging knowledge for a continual improvement, slowly but surely.
On our way Our path is marked by certain milestones, important reminders of objectives reached but even more by points of departure and reference aimed at attaining new goals. Because the journey goes on.
Our heart is our staff This is our real strength: the women and men who work with us and for you. Our 170 collaborators who, each day, give of their best with professionalism, skill and passion; from production to administration, logistics to customer service. We want the most We are very demanding with our collaborators. But we give our support to everyone. Personal and professional growth in each individual is something very dear to our hearts and so we provide incentives and urge each one to do ever better by way of training and refresher courses but above all by personal example and the transmitting of knowledge.
We look to the results Our work has always been geared to quality. Obtaining certification and recognition is for us only a confirmation of the high level attained: • ISO 9001 certification for the quality of organisational structure, ability and managerial resources • ISO 14001 certification for respect for the environment; • RAL mark which attests to the quality of pressurised injection; • TÜV-GS mark for safety and the quality of equipment deployed; • Quality control, trustworthiness and stability in laminated wood attested by the Austrian institute for research into wood, “Holzforschung Austria”, and by the FMPA; • PEFC certification on the finished products. This certification attests that the wood used in production comes from forests which are managed by sustainable development where a policy of constant reforestation is in operation.
