Heilbronn Planing Mill

The Heilbronn planing mill operated by Hirschbach GmbH supplies wood for construction, facades, and landscaping, combining a sawmill, planing mill, and wood-drying facility all in one location. Behind this operation is Hirschbach, a fourth-generation family-owned business based in Sulzbach-Laufen. There, roundwood from local forests is processed into structural lumber, boards, battens, and other wood products for customers in Heilbronn and the surrounding region. From the tree trunk to the finished product, all key steps in the process are handled in-house.

Heilbronn Planing Mill – Hirschbach for Comprehensive Wood Processing

Hirschbach combines a sawmill, planing mill, wood-drying facility, and direct sales, processing roundwood from local forests into lumber and structural timber. Traditional craftsmanship and modern technology work hand in hand—from the initial cutting of the log to the finished, planed product. At the plant, wood as a raw material undergoes a coordinated processing chain consisting of cutting, drying, planing, and custom cutting. Approximately 75 employees oversee the various stages of production. This allows production to respond flexibly to customer needs, whether for timber construction, a home, or the garden.

Many companies in the wood industry source their raw materials from local or appropriately certified forests. Hirschbach also relies exclusively on roundwood from local forests and combines regional raw material sourcing with modern processing.

Our company offers a range of services, from raw materials to the finished product:

  • Roundwood processing: Logs are processed into lumber according to the desired dimensions and quality.
  • Planing: Boards, slats, and floorboards are given specific dimensions and finishes.
  • Wood drying: The wood is industrially dried to the moisture content required for its intended use.
  • Finishing: Our services include capping, waterproofing, and heat treatment in accordance with the IPPC standard.
  • Consulting: Customers receive assistance in selecting suitable wood species and dimensions.
