Efficient and essential at all levels
Our drive and aspiration

In our work at the German Timber Trade Federation, our aspiration is to lend an attentive ear to the incredibly broad range of interests found in the industry and among our members and to secure the necessary recognition and the appropriate consideration in political, economic and social decision-making processes — throughout Germany and Europe and around the world.

A representative industry federation, we bundle even today the interests of 800 member companies. We listen and take their problems seriously. In our eyes there are no small problems, only problems that receive too little attention. We are changing that and that is why we keep our ear close to the industry — every day.
