About L. Stelling GmbH
L. Stelling GmbH is a trading company for wood products founded in January 2004 in Delmenhorst, headquartered in Ganderkesee since the end of 2009. The company specializes in the import of model-making materials, in particular balsa wood as sawn timber, boards and strips in thicknesses of 1 to 30 mm as well as balsa end-grain panels and balsa surfboard blanks. The product range also includes plywood made from Finnish birch, ceiba and poplar, round rods as broom and tool handles, and massaranduba decking boards. The balsa wood is imported from the Andes of Ecuador. After taking over the complete model-making product range of the J. Henr. Drünert GmbH + Co., which was closed at the end of 2003, L. Stelling GmbH supplies customers from model making, furniture construction, aircraft construction, sporting goods and musical instrument manufacturing. On a warehouse floor area of almost 1,000 sqm (since 2015), the company keeps the products in stock. Since May 2014 the company has been FSC®-certified.
