22 THE SPIRIT OF TREE HUGGERS.
The careful handling of wood, a CO 2 -neutral raw material, the production of predominantly PEFC certified products, and the re-use of every individual chip that comes into being in our plants, are all a part of our conscious dealing with nature. We cultivate the natural cycle of our element through maintaining a very special value chain. For we don t simply process the regenerative energy source. With our subsidiary company and an equity holding, we focus on careful timber harvesting and sustainable forest management. FOREST MGMT. > HARVEST > PROCESSING 23
GOOD THINGS COME IN TREES. Our know-how is based on a one hundred year long tradition centered on the regenerative web of the forest. We set to work every day with this knowledge and awareness. In doing so we use sustainably managed domestic wood species such as spruce, fir, Douglas fir, pine, and Mark Brandenburg pine. And what s more: Wood chips become pulp for paper, sawdust turns into chipboard, and wood shavings become presswood pallets. Even bark is put to use as an energy source in our company s own heating plants. Completely environmentally friendly. And completely valuable according the Klenk Holz principle. 24
Spruce / Color: yellow-white, darkens to yellow-brown when exposed to light / Structure: clearly visible annual ring structure / Character: strong strength and flexibility properties / Field of application: especially wellsuited as a mouldings and building- and construction-timber Fir / Color: yellow-white with gray-violet to blue sheen, darkens when exposed to light / Structure: resin-free tree species without resin canals / Character: many parallels to spruce wood Resistant to acids and alkalis / Field of application: most suitable for earthwork and hydraulic engineering Douglas fir / Color: dark yellow red, darkens to brownred when exposed to light / Structure: distinction between sapwood and heartwood clearly visible / Character: resilient and particular durable / Field of application: suitable for use in outdoor areas Pine / Color: dark yellow to reddish brown / Structure: marked knottiness and characteristic annual ring structure / Character: strong strength and flexibility properties / Field of application: perfectly suited for the outdoor area due to its good impregnability Mark Brandenburg pine The original vegetation region of the Mark Brandenburg pine is located in the Brandenburg forests. It grows very slowly and develops a high wood density due to the typically sparse sandy ground and the nutrient-poor soil. The optimal growing conditions ensure maximum stability and load-bearing capacity. The storage of essential oils and resin result in the Mark Brandenburg pine s natural resistance to fungi and insect attacks so that the wood is especially suitable for use in roof areas. 25
