Local Wood—Why Ellwangen Stands Out

Locally sourced wood offers many advantages. Short transport distances keep emissions low and often result in faster delivery times and greater availability. At the same time, value is retained within the region. This is an important factor for sustainable construction and responsible forestry.

In the region around Ellwangen, primarily traditional local wood species are used. These include, above all, spruce and fir for lumber and roof structures, as well as Douglas fir and larch for facades, decks, and exposed exterior areas. These woods are prized for their strength, natural appearance, and versatility.

Many standard products are available from stock at short notice. Custom cuts or special dimensions are prepared within a few business days, depending on the effort required.

A Tradition in Woodworking

At Hirschbach, wood and tradition have gone hand in hand for generations. Our company’s history stretches back many decades, and we have evolved from a traditional roundwood operation into a modern sawmill offering a wide range of services.

Key milestones in our development:

Transition from a traditional round-log sawmill to a modern specialty wood processing company
Expansion to include planing, drying, and custom cutting solutions
Expansion of the product line to include KVH, glued laminated timber, and high-quality planed lumber
Handover and further development within the family across several generations

To this day, values such as reliability, a commitment to keeping our word, and a respectful approach to wood as a raw material shape our daily work. It is precisely this combination of experience and modern technology that makes Hirschbach a long-term partner for many customers in Ellwangen.

Services Offered by the Sawmill

Our work focuses on processing roundwood into high-quality wood products for a wide variety of applications. We ensure precise processing, proper drying, and custom-fit manufacturing. Our services include, among other things, the production of beams, square-edged lumber, boards, and planks for timber construction. Our product range is complemented by planed lumber for facades, interior finishing, and exposed structural elements. We also produce custom-cut pieces tailored exactly to your specifications—perfect for carpentry shops, homebuilders, or private projects.

Even large-scale construction projects can be flexibly carried out using our products. From roof trusses and carports to facade solutions, we support a wide variety of projects with the right wood products and personalized advice.

Wood, Products, and Modern Solutions

The Hirschbach product line includes both traditional lumber and modern timber construction solutions.

The following types of wood are used particularly frequently:

Spruce and fir are ideal for roof structures, interior finishes, and load-bearing components. Douglas fir and larch are particularly well-suited for exterior applications, such as facades, decks, or exposed wood structures. Depending on the project, other types of wood may also be used for specific applications.

Modern wood construction products such as KVH and glued-laminated timber also play an important role in our work. KVH—which stands for “Konstruktionsvollholz” (solid structural timber)—is kiln-dried and strength-tested wood that is particularly well-suited for load-bearing structures. Glued laminated timber, on the other hand, consists of several glued-together lamellas and offers high load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability. Glued laminated timber is often the better solution, especially for larger spans or exposed structures.

MH lumber is also used in certain applications. This is graded lumber with defined properties for structural applications.

Wood Quality, Sustainability, and Responsibility

For us, quality begins with the selection of the logs. Each log is carefully inspected and processed according to its characteristics. Thanks to modern sawing technology and regular quality controls, our products consistently meet high standards. At the same time, sustainability plays a major role for us. The wood comes primarily from regional forests and sustainably managed forestry operations. Short transport distances help reduce emissions and ensure the sensible use of resources.

Waste materials such as sawdust or wood chips are reused and utilized for energy. This creates a nearly closed-loop system in which wood as a raw material is used as completely as possible.

From Order to Delivery

The ordering process is intentionally kept simple and transparent. After you submit your request, we’ll provide you with personalized advice on suitable wood types, dimensions, and possible solutions. You’ll then receive a customized quote that includes the delivery time and your desired finishing options. Once approved, the materials are cut to size, planed, or otherwise prepared and then either made available for pickup or delivered directly. Customers in the Ellwangen area, in particular, benefit from short distances and flexible delivery options.

Our representatives are also available at any time to answer questions or take repeat orders.
