Our experience: we process
We are making the CLT smarter:
We supply and process cross laminated timber for your project.
We can support you from the planning stage to the processing of the solid wood walls and delivery to the construction site.
This goes so far that we already install windows in the wall element at the factory. What has long been common practice in the prefabricated house industry is a novelty in cross laminated timber.
Leidorf GmbH is Your supplier for cross laminated timber / CLT
We are specialists in the sale of cross laminated timber / CLT. We have quotas with all manufacturers we can offer you a year-round delivery time of 4 - 6 weeks.
If you wish, we can process the cross laminated timber in any shape with our robot CNC system. Drilling, milling, cutting. It doesn't matter to our CND robot whether we mill right-angled or free forms. We give you all the freedom you need for your solid wood project!
