Job description

The European market leader in solid wood products and innovative construction solutions

About Our Company

In 1957, Franz Binder, sr. founded the independent family business binderholz as a small “one-gate sawmill” in Fügen in Zillertal of Tyrol. What began sixty years ago has now evolved into a comprehensive wood processing operation. New standards are continuously being implemented in engineering, product innovation, and architectural design. The third generation of the Binder family retains overall management of the company and maintains their predecessors’ original inspiration for the product.

The binderholz group has become one of the largest solid timber producing companies in Europe. We are centrally oriented on the concept of sustainability regarding our raw material wood and our present and future employees.

A passion for wood and commitment to the business are the foundation of Binder's philosophy. This ethos ensures that the name of binderholz symbolizes the highest quality wood.

In 2020, we acquired our new US production sites Binderholz Enfield LLC & Binderholz Live Oak LLC in Florida, developing our US organization and market presence. We have been importing various mass timber products to the US & Canada for years, but with our own US sales entity in Atlanta, GA and our new production sites in Enfield, NC & Live Oak, FL, we are meeting the growing demand for saw timber and massive wood products through regionally sourced and produced binderholz products in America.
