HESS TIMBER gets to the top of the most innovative timber construction companies in Europe.

In Spring 2010 HESS TIMBER took a completely new and extremely fast processing finger-jointing line concept into operation. This "High-Tech" production was supplemented in Mai 2010 with the worldwide first fully automated CNC-Press for curved glulam beams.


Through the combination with the 6-Axis CNC-Centre (installed in 2006), the X-ray scanner and the high frequency press, HESS TIMBER now ranks among the leading and state-of-the-art glulam timber manufacturers in Europe.
