About Holzwerke Gleitsmann
Holzwerke Gleitsmann GmbH in Unterspiesheim is a sawmill with a tradition dating back to 1909, specializing in unedged hardwood lumber from beech, oak, ash and mixed hardwoods. Production is carried out with defined oversize in the fresh state (10% for beech, 7% for oak) followed by kiln drying (K.D). Quality grading follows the company's own published quality and grading guidelines with grades such as RS I to RS III, Red Heart, Worm, Barrel Stock and Parquet. The company is PEFC certified (Chain of Custody, Sawmill) and thus sells wood from sustainable, traceable origins. At the Wipfeld site, the company also operates a timber retail store with over 600 m² of indoor exhibition space for flooring as well as a 300 m² outdoor garden world for decking boards and privacy screens.
