What is Wood Management and Technology?

Wood is one of the oldest and most versatile raw materials in the world. Its economic utilisation potential is enormous. From an economic and labour market perspective, the timber industry is one of the absolute top performers in the economy.

The timber industry focuses on the economic utilisation of wood and involves a wide range of stakeholders. These primarily include the timber trade and the wood-processing industry. While all depend on the sustainable development of their raw material, they pursue different strategic objectives.

The timber industry operates in this field of tension, constantly striving to optimise the value chain of its raw material in the triad of economy, ecology, and technology.
