WOOD PRODUCTS FROM THE MUR VALLEY

Solid and residual wood products

In the Kathal sawmill, spruce logs are processed into sawn timber – the starting point for other solid wood products. This is used to produce planed products, profiled boards and glulam for modern timber construction. With special glulam components up to 36 metres in length, we also meet the requirements of timber engineering. Sawdust is processed into wood pellets; wood shavings serve as raw material for the AlpenSpan horse bedding.

Valuable building material

GLT

Pabst GLT is known for its homogeneous appearance – characterised by the fine-grained mountain spruce from the Mur Valley. Every year, we produce around 100,000m³ in visual and industrial quality – directly in Zeltweg

High-quality sawn timber

Every year, we process around 400,000 solid cubic metres of spruce logs into high-quality sawn timber – the basis for numerous other solid wood products. The origin shares are reported on an annual basis.

Sawn timber

Complete value creation

We use main products and by-products from wood processing for different applications. The trunk is turned into sawn timber as the starting material for planed products and glulam. Wood shavings are processed into AlpenSpan, and sawdust serves as raw material for wood pellets. We use the bark in our biomass plants to generate process heat for production.

Energy from bark and wood chips

Wood pellets for efficient heat

At Pabst, sawdust is dried and pressed into wood pellets. Depending on the consumption assumption used, the annual production volume corresponds to the heating requirements of around 20,000 households.

Bedding made from dedusted spruce shavings

AlpenSpan for noble four-legged friends

Our dedusted wood shavings are in demand throughout Europe as first-class bedding. Internationally valued for hygiene and comfort in modern horse husbandry.

AlpenSpan

Glued laminated timber (GLT) from our plant in Zeltweg impresses with its high load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability. Thanks to industrial precision and a high level of prefabrication, it enables fast, economical assembly while maintaining an aesthetic visual quality.

We source our round timber primarily from a radius of around 100 kilometres, including the Mur and Mürz Valleys. The origin shares and average transport distances are reported on an annual basis.

Wood shavings are processed into AlpenSpan, and sawdust serves as raw material for wood pellets. Bark is used in our own biomass plants to generate process heat for drying wood.

AlpenSpan is made from dedusted spruce wood shavings. The bedding has a tested absorbency. AlpenSpan is used, among others, by the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

Pabst holds PEFC Chain of Custody certification. Whether a specific delivery is declared as PEFC-certified can be found in the respective sales and delivery documents. Wood products contain biogenic carbon, which remains stored throughout their service life.
