Hardwood specialist Danzer recorded revenue of Euro 170 million in 2021. 57% of the revenue reported in 2021 originated from the sale of sliced products, 28% from sawn products, the remaining 15% from logs, specialties, and services. In 2021, hardwood specialist Danzer supplied products to customers in 71 countries. Accounting for a combined 78% of all sales, the top ten markets ranked as follows: USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Poland, Austria, China, Slovakia, Mexico and Sweden. After adjustment for the divestiture of the sawmill in Bradford, Pennsylvania in April 2021, revenue for the year was up 9% on pre-pandemic 2019, and by 25% on 2020.
In addition to the successful growth of the sliced wear layer business in Europe and North America, CEO Hans-Joachim Danzer attributes the company’s strong growth to procurement: “In 2021, large customers who were looking for reliable hardwood supply from sustainable sources turned to the market leader for sliced hardwood in Europe and North America. Danzer employs the most extensive procurement organization in the industry and adheres to stringent due diligence protocols.”
The company will continue to pursue its established strategy over the years to come. “At Danzer we focus on the areas in which we have a competitive advantage. We will continue to invest in systems for intelligent wood use and process automation,” confirmed Hans-Joachim Danzer.
Danzer is a hardwood company focusing on wood from temperate forests in the northern hemisphere. The company produces sawn lumber, veneers and finished wood products.
