Backnang Sawmill
Anyone looking for a reliable sawmill in the Backnang area usually looks for very similar things: high-quality wood, clean workmanship, short delivery distances, and a partner who thinks ahead. That’s exactly what Hirschbach stands for. As a family-run business based in Baden-Württemberg, we’ve been supplying customers in the greater Backnang area with high-quality lumber and other wood products for many years. Reliable, local, and with a genuine connection to the trade.
Even though our location isn’t directly in Backnang, our business in Sulzbach-Laufen is ideally connected. From here, we supply customers in the surrounding area, in Backnang’s neighborhoods, and throughout the region with wood for a wide variety of applications. Whether for private projects, professional timber construction, carpentry, or commercial projects: We supply materials you can rely on. For many of our customers, that’s exactly what matters most: a good working relationship, dedicated points of contact, and products that meet the highest standards of quality and dimensional accuracy.
A Sawmill with a Rich History
Our sawmill is part of a family-owned business with a long history. Its roots date back to 1908, when the Hirschbach family took over a mill site and, step by step, developed it into a modern wood-processing business. Over more than four generations, this has evolved into what we are today: a high-performance sawmill with extensive experience, modern technology, and a clear commitment to quality. This history continues to shape our daily work to this day. For us, wood is not just an anonymous raw material, but a natural material grown in the forest that demands expertise and care. Every log has its own unique characteristics. Assessing these correctly and processing them appropriately are skills that cannot be learned from books alone. Above all, it is the experience and expertise of our team that make the difference here.
Many of our employees have been with the company for years. This well-coordinated team combines a deep understanding of the craft with modern production methods. That is precisely why we are able to supply large quantities for industrial and timber construction projects as well as provide customized solutions for smaller construction projects.
Crafts and Wood Construction in the Backnang Area
The craft trade has deep roots in the Backnang area. Many of our customers come from the carpentry trade, traditional wood construction, or related trades. At the same time, we also supply private homeowners through retail outlets who are looking for wood for their gardens, decks, fences, carports, or other home improvement projects.
Especially when it comes to renovations, remodeling, or smaller new construction projects, it’s important that materials are not only available but also technically suited to the project. For example, anyone renovating a roof, planning an outdoor structure, or designing solutions for dormers and skylights needs a partner who offers more than just off-the-shelf products. This is exactly where we see our role: We don’t just supply wood; we support our customers with the right products and practical, hands-on advice.
This reliability is also a major advantage for carpentry shops and other trades businesses in Backnang and the surrounding area toward Heilbronn. After all, on a construction site, it’s not just the price that matters—it’s above all whether the measurements, delivery times, and quality are right.
An Overview of Our Products and Services
The core of our business is roundwood processing. We use regional roundwood to produce high-quality wood products for a wide range of applications. These include traditional boards, slats, frames, and square-edged lumber, as well as further-processed products for more demanding applications.
Our product range includes, among other things:
- Boards and Laths for Construction, Wood Construction, and the Wood Industry
- Rough-sawn framing lumber and structural lumber, such as MH-fix and MH-plus, as well as decking boards made of Douglas fir and larch
- Raw materials for KVH and other load-bearing applications
- Floorboards and planks for various projects
- Packaging lumber for commercial use
- Planed lumber and finished surfaces
- Wood for deck boards, fences, and garden structures
This product line is complemented by custom cutting, industrial drying, and various finishing processes at our on-site planing mill. This is particularly helpful if you want your wood not only delivered but also ready for immediate use at your construction site or in your workshop. In the Backnang area, there is strong demand for exactly these kinds of services: For example, our local facility offers kiln drying, planing, and impregnation right on site.

Wood for residential and commercial projects
Our products are used in a wide variety of applications. Some customers need traditional lumber for load-bearing structures, while others are planning a new deck, fence, or carport. Still others work in carpentry and the wood industry and need reliable materials for roof trusses, building additions, or wood facades.
In the private sector in particular, the requirements are often very specific. Anyone renovating a house, redesigning a garden, or looking for a durable solution for outdoor spaces wants wood that not only looks great but is also easy to work with.
Here, you’ll benefit from our wide range of products and our experience gained from many different projects. In the commercial sector, on the other hand, dimensional accuracy, predictable delivery dates, and consistent quality often play the most important role. Our business is designed to meet these needs as well. Our professional consultation can help you select the right types of wood for a specific project—whether with an eye toward durability, aesthetics, or future use. Likewise, our expert guidance can be invaluable when it comes to properly implementing local building code requirements for timber construction.
Quality, Origin, and Sustainability
A good sawmill is recognized not only by its machinery, but above all by the quality of its wood. We primarily process locally sourced wood from regional forestry operations. This keeps transportation distances short, boosts value creation in the region, and ensures that we can easily trace the origin of our materials. In the Backnang area in particular, many sawmills and wood-processing companies consciously view sustainability as an important part of their daily work.
The product range in the region consists primarily of softwoods such as spruce, Douglas fir, and larch. These wood species are important in areas such as timber construction, landscaping, and deck building, as well as in carpentry. For us and many other businesses in the region, sustainable timber sourcing means obtaining wood from responsibly managed forests to preserve the ecological balance. This also involves keeping transportation distances as short as possible, reducing CO₂ emissions, and strengthening regional economic cycles. We consciously avoid tropical hardwoods, which may be linked to deforestation. Instead, we rely on domestic and traceably sourced alternatives. Such measures not only protect biodiversity and wildlife habitats but also strengthen the trust of environmentally conscious customers.
Logistics and Supply in the Backnang Area
Even without a physical location in Backnang, we can deliver to customers in the region quickly and reliably. Our in-house logistics system is designed for fast response times. This is especially beneficial for ongoing construction projects, when materials are needed promptly.
Whether in Backnang itself, in the surrounding neighborhoods, or further afield: We ensure that lumber arrives on time. This is a real advantage, especially for craft businesses and carpentry shops. After all, quality work often depends on having the right materials in the right place at the right time. In a city like Backnang, which historically became known as a tanning town and for its textile industry, various commercial structures have developed over the years—including a strong foundation for construction, wood processing, and regional supply chains.

Personalized advice and dedicated contacts
What many of our customers appreciate about working with us is the personal attention. With us, you won’t end up on an anonymous hotline—instead, you’ll speak with people who know their craft. You’ll have a dedicated contact person who understands your needs and can assist you with even the most detailed questions when necessary. Whether it’s a large-scale timber construction project, choosing materials for a renovation, or selecting wood for your garden and patio—we take the time to address your needs. This personal touch is important to us. After all, a strong partnership isn’t built solely on products, but on trust and reliability.
Our close involvement in both the supply of materials and the craftsmanship involved in their implementation is what makes regional collaboration so valuable. That is why we see ourselves not just as a supplier, but as a partner who contributes ideas to projects and provides practical support.
