best wood SCHNEIDER GmbH

best wood SCHNEIDER GmbH is a German manufacturer of solid timber construction systems and wood-fiber insulation for sustainable building. The company traces its origins back to 1911 in Kappel, near Eberhardzell (Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany), where master carpenter Ferdinand Schneider founded a sawmill. Remaining family-run over the generations, it became Gebrüder Schneider GmbH in 1993, marking the start of its industrialization. Today, around 700 employees work across three sites: the Eberhardzell headquarters, the Messkirch plant (Germany), and the Swiss branch in Märstetten, dedicated to distribution and logistics. The company has structured its business around an integrated value chain, from the sawmill to finished construction elements. It positions itself among the leading suppliers of materials for sustainable timber construction, using wood chips from its own sawmill to manufacture its insulation. The catalog includes glued laminated timber (GLT), structural solid timber (KVH), laminated solid timber (Duo/Trio/Quattro), as well as a wide range of CLT panels: standard panels, CLT XL, wall and floor systems, and CLT BOX cassette elements. These are complemented by wood-fiber boards and insulation (roof, between rafters, blown-in, floor) and wood pellets. The company mainly processes spruce, larch, and fir, and offers sizing and factory finishing services. best wood SCHNEIDER anchors its production in a closed-loop circular economy approach. Its wood and wood-fiber products are PEFC and natureplus certified, the latter incorporating ecological and social criteria.
