Timberstore.de – When a regional forestry company goes online

Brief description
With Timberstore, we have developed an online shop for anyone who works with wood as a natural raw material and appreciates its versatility. Thanks to our experience from the last 30 years as a forestry service provider, we know what is important in real-life use and have direct access to the raw material wood. We offer certified and controlled renewable wood via our sawn timber configurator. This is cut to size at our own sawmill according to customer requirements.
