Sawn timber

    sawn timber

    A cut above the rest

    Sawn and high-grade timber, the wood equivalent of an uncut diamond, form the basis of a wide variety of wood products. JAF offers sawn timber from all over the world and accompanies local products from the forest to the customer. As a one-stop provider of sawn timber, JAF has direct access to the most important international sourcing markets: JAF sources timber from the best forests in Europe and also imports top-quality sawn and high-grade timber from reliable international partners.

    Keeping a constant eye on the supply chain

    In Europe, JAF has subsidiaries in the counties where the best timber resources grow. This allows the company to monitor the supply chain from the logs in the forest to the sawmill and on to its subsequent sale. A closely integrated central warehousing network guarantees reliable supplies. Besides its central warehouses, JAF also has warehouses at several international hubs – such as in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and Papenburg in northern Germany – which guarantees JAF’s supplies of sawn timber.

    Sawn timber produced in-house

    JAF produces premium-quality sawn timber both at its Austrian sawmill in Laa an der Thaya as well as in heavily forested Romania. While the sawmill in Laa an der Thaya mainly processes logs from domestic species, the Romanian sawmill works with a wide range of common European species. In addition to steaming and drying, JAF also produces sawn timber in thicknesses and fixed dimensions based on customer requirements. The portfolio of the JAF Group extends here from undressed boards to finely-planed decking boards.

    Service with a plus

    Top-performance logistics mean that JAF can guarantee short-term availability from warehouses at all of its sales outlets. The company sources sawn timber for nearly every conceivable application – from tonewood to industrial ranges such as friezes and beams. Bespoke services allow the logs to be cut exactly to customer specifications. JAF’s processing centres deliver tailor-made services with various dimensions and profiles to complete the range of customer services offered.
