Feuchtwangen Planing Mill

The planing mill operated by Hirschbach GmbH near Feuchtwangen combines a sawmill, planing mill, and wood-drying facility in a single location and supplies sawn lumber, boards, slats, and structural lumber to customers in Feuchtwangen and the surrounding region. The company is a fourth-generation family business based in Sulzbach-Laufen that processes locally sourced roundwood. Production is characterized by close ties to the regional forestry industry, modern technology, and the most comprehensive use possible of wood as a raw material.

Feuchtwangen Planing Mill – One-Stop Processing

Our planing mill near Feuchtwangen combines a sawmill, planing shop, wood-drying facility, and direct sales, and processes roundwood into boards, slats, floorboards, and structural lumber. Traditional craftsmanship and modern technology work hand in hand within a single facility, from the first cut to the finished planed product. The raw material—wood—follows a closed-loop process at the plant: cutting at the frame saw, drying in the kiln, planing, and cutting to size. Because our company manages every stage in-house, production can be flexibly adapted to meet a variety of requirements. In addition to common standard products, we can therefore also offer custom dimensions and special orders.

Sawmills in the region primarily process local softwoods such as spruce and pine. Hirschbach also relies on roundwood from local forests and is therefore closely tied to the regional forestry industry. Short distances from the forest to the processing facility also reduce transportation costs.

Our company covers the entire processing chain and offers five services:

Roundwood processing: Cutting logs into lumber according to size and quality.
Planing: planed boards, slats, and floorboards with a defined surface.
Wood drying: technical drying to the required moisture content.
Finishing: Trimming, waterproofing, and heat treatment in accordance with the IPPC standard.
Consulting and Service: Selecting the appropriate wood species, quality, and dimensions for each project.

The product range thus covers numerous applications in timber construction, industry, and outdoor use. Depending on the project, both standard dimensions and custom-cut products are available.

Sawing and planing technology ensures precision and quality

State-of-the-art technology guides the wood through the planing mill, from the planning of the cut pattern to the finished surface. Controlled wood drying is a key step in this process. In our own drying chambers, moisture is removed from the wood until it reaches the moisture content required for further processing.

The wood can then be cut to size, planed, or otherwise finished. Combining various production steps at a single location makes it easier to ensure that dimensions and quality are consistent. At the same time, this approach allows for the production of both recurring standard products and custom orders.

Sustainability is at the heart of wood processing at Hirschbach

Hirschbach GmbH processes only roundwood from local forests. This ensures that the company maintains close ties to the regional forestry and timber industry. Short transport distances between the forest, the mill, and customers help reduce transportation costs and contribute to resource-efficient processing.

Wood scraps are also reused. Wood chips and other byproducts can, for example, be pelletized and used to generate energy. Hirschbach also operates its own biomass power plant, which generates energy for the facility’s operations as well as for nearby households. In this way, byproducts from wood processing are returned to the operational cycle.

PEFC and IPPC certifications reinforce the commitment to traceable sourcing and proper handling of the wood.
