About us

“Nothing is more constant than change.”

This 2,500-year-old quote is still valid, even for our newly founded timber trading company ETT - European Timber Trading GmbH. Fünf ehemalige Mitarbeiter von GTC – German Timber Company - have been facing up to change and the challenges of the timber world since June 2024. As a subsidiary of the renowned Swedish timber trading company Västkustens Skogs AB in addition to exports to Scandinavia and the Far East, domestic sawmills are now increasingly being supplied with logs by truck and rail. The Swedish parent company also supplies Scandinavian fiber and pulp mills from various supplier countries by ship.

In order to be well positioned for the future, we have looked into the necessary sustainability certificates and have PEFC, FSC™ (FSC-C172113) and also SURE certified. You can find the corresponding certificates in the download area.

Roundwood

Our focus is on the purchase of coniferous round timber, including over-thicknesses, sawn round timber and industrial timber. For wood processors, we can offer both the classic log assortments as well as over-strength larch and Douglas fir in various grades.

Oak, beech and ash in various qualities are also exported to customers worldwide.

We buy energy wood in large units for Scandinavian combined heat and power plants.

Slight rot, cracks and dryness are not a problem here. Thicknesses from 7 cm and lengths up to 6 m are also accepted.

Thanks to our newly acquired SURE certificate we are able to supply you with EU-compliant material.

Energy wood

Lumber

Hardwood and softwood lumber in a wide range of dimensions and grades round off our activities. We even have overseas customers for older sawn timber with significantly poorer cutting quality.

Transport

Our many years of experience and our excellent network in truck, rail and ship transport make us a reliable partner for all timber transportation needs.
