In
the forefront of French wood-producing regions,
Lorraine profits from a significant forest
potential.
With an annual production
of more than 12.4 million cubic feet, the sawmill
of leafy trees ranks number one in the nation. The
company CHENE DE l’EST has a production center
in Hambach, which combines sawing with more specialized
processing activities such as panellings and parquet
floors. Oak is the favorite material of this company,
which
employs 62 people and exports
50% of its revenue to Germany. Sawmills of coniferous
trees produce 20.5 million cubic feet of sawn timber annually.
SAWMILLS REUNIES of Abreschviller specializes
in the production of wood framework, formwork and packing.
Fir and spruce are favorite materials. 13% of 4.2 million
cubic feet of treated round wood per year are intended
for the Belgian, Dutch and Scandinavian markets. The company
employs 80 people and recently launched the construction
of a new sawmill. The mechanical work of wood is characterized
by its diversity. The Lorraine sawmills of the Moselle
region supply manufacturers of panels (DEPALOR in Phalsbourg),
and wood floors (TIMBERGER in Rohrbach les Bitche).
Furniture manufacturers develop two
main types of products: contemporary pieces from agglomerated
wood (WELLE) and sawn timber pieces. Certain producers
specialize in seat manufacturing.
Established in Faulquemont, the ROTO
FRANK Company specializes in roof, windows and wooden
retractable staircase manufacturing. This subsidiary company
of the German group ROTO FRANK exports more than half
of its annual sales.
