About us
H.A.S.E. Holzwerk is a family-run manufacturer of wooden transport packaging with three sites in Thuringia and Rhineland-Palatinate. The company manufactures EPAL pallets in accordance with EPAL quality guidelines, chemical pallets, industrial pallets as well as one-way and special pallets, and additionally handles the repair, sorting, refurbishment and conversion of used pallets. Value creation is entirely in-house: from local timber purchasing from certified sustainably managed forests, via sawing in the company's own sawmill in Hermeskeil (120,000 solid cubic metres of roundwood per year), to drying, storage and delivery. At the pallet plants in Unterbreizbach and Kirchberg (Hunsrück), pallets are dried in accordance with IPPC/ISPM-15 criteria without chemical treatment; Kirchberg has its own power plant available for this purpose. Customers come from the packaging industry, transport/logistics and the chemical sector. An own vehicle fleet with logistics partners enables deliveries within 24 hours.
