Our know-how for the most natural material in the world.
Solid wood
Complete order execution also with solid wood: In our plant in Suceagu, Cluj, Romania, we manufacture complete products from solid wood. In addition, we also produce solid wood components and frames there, which can be supplemented with the use and processing of molded wood or molded fleece on request. Here, too, we offer you all batch sizes from small quantities to large series and are there for you from the initial consultation to all logistics issues.
Our machinery includes classic woodworking machines as well as modern, multi-axis CNC machining centers. Besides beech, oak, ash and American walnut, we also process other woods. Feel free to contact us!
Ideal building material for furniture and more
Positive material properties of solid wood
Because we love wood:
Solid wood processing as an overall concept
Raw wood and cutting
In the solid wood sector, we primarily use European woods such as oak, beech and ash from sustainably managed forests, each of which is certified according to the FSC standard. In addition, we offer other types of wood for processing, such as American walnut. Each tree is different, and we attach great importance to quality. In this way, we sort the wood already during cutting. For frame construction, for example, we sort and use wood in quality classes A and B.
CNC machining
We can realize complex molded parts made of solid wood very efficiently with our new machinery. For this purpose, classic woodworking machines as well as fast-setting, multi-axis CNC machines are available.
Component assembly
For the precise and stable gluing of components such as frames, we use special assembly jigs manufactured in-house.
Surface finish
Whether oiled or water-based lacquered: In terms of color, we always adapt exactly to the customer’s wishes.
Service
On request, we can supplement your products with components made of molded wood, molded fleece or other materials. We are also happy to take care of packing and palletizing of your furniture.
That’s what a tree does – per day!
Did you know that a beech tree renews up to 20m3 of air per day? Means: Among other things, it absorbs the CO2 from this amount and produces 5 kg of oxygen (O2) instead. In the process, it stores about 6 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) and also evaporates up to 400 liters of water.

Basic info solid wood development
Are you able to produce prototypes?
Based on our many years of experience in prototyping, we are happy to produce models from solid wood. In our development workshop we are able to realize your ideas very quickly by using our seat simulator. In addition, we have a large team of qualified experts who process samples and build prototypes and jigs.
Why should we be involved in development at an early stage?
In our experience, it is precisely the prelude to the development process that has a decisive influence on the cost of the end product. The better we communicate from the beginning, the better we can jointly implement the necessary steps towards optimal price-performance ratio.
What file formats can you use?
Our designers specialize in AutoCAD LT2020 (.dwg and .dxf), Creo 6.0 (.prt), Rhinoceros 7 (.3dm) and Mastercam. However, you are also welcome to provide us with your data in other common file formats such as .step or .iges.
Solid wood: material from sustainable forestry
What types of wood can you process?
The trendy type of wood at the moment is oak. American walnut is also in great demand. In addition, we produce solid wood moldings from maple, beech and ash.
What are the applications for solid wood?
The many advantages of solid wood are mainly used in furniture construction, especially in the construction of chair frames. For the construction of beds and tables solid wood is also very suitable.
How heavy are the wood species used per cubic meter?
The following weights refer to air-dried wood with 12-15% moisture content: oak 770 kg/m³, beech 720 kg/m³, American walnut 580-800 kg/m³, maple 600-700 kg/m³ and ash 650-800 kg/m³.
Where does the raw wood come from?
Our purchasing regions are located in Romania right on the doorstep of our plants. From there we obtain all European wood species. American walnut is imported from North America.
How long will the wood stocks actually last?
Beech, oak, maple and ash come from sustainable Romanian forestry. Sustainability means that only as much wood is harvested as will grow back at the same time. The Romanian forests are certified according to the requirements of the FSC (“Forest Stewardship Council”) seal of quality. In Romania, a total of 42% of the forest area (2.8 million hectares) is already certified accordingly.
Solid wood production: numerous possibilities for your product
What products do you make from solid wood?
We are happy to manufacture all chair components for you, such as back legs, front legs, frames, as well as armrests and arm rests, and bed legs, table legs, as well as table tops.
What delivery times should I expect?
Depending on the batch size, order-related production usually takes four to six weeks. For appropriate order sizes, faster delivery is possible through our flex order system. In addition, we have sufficient storage capacity to respond quickly to your requirements.
Is there a minimum purchase quantity?
Yes: The minimum order quantity is usually 125 pieces per order.
Is there a maximum dimension for solid wood parts?
So far, we have been able to cover all requests. Please feel free to contact us.
Is it possible to have upholstery work done by you?
If a model is to be completely made, we can also do simple upholstery. The fabrics are then provided by the customer in each case.
What surface finishing options do you offer?
For the finishing of solid wood parts, our paint shop has spray booths and drying ovens. The transparent or opaque water-based paint is mixed according to your color requirements. An infinite number of color shades can be realized through the use of stains. In addition, your product can also be oiled and/or waxed.
Do you also assemble complete chairs?
Gladly: We can also finish assembling solid wood moldings for you with other components made of molded wood, plastic, steel or aluminum. You only need to worry about distribution.
Can you pack complete furniture in our cartons as well?
Upon request, we will pack your items in your cardboard boxes, label and palletize them for shipment or pickup.
