Pillar · Timber Logistics

Timber is our root.

Since 1992 we have been moving sawn timber, panel products and round wood from overseas to the DACH plant ramp. 34 years of specialising in a living material — no one copies that overnight.

Overseas.

Sawn timber, panel products and round wood begin their journey thousands of kilometres away — mostly in Asia, the Americas or Africa. We know the shippers, the carriers and the typical stowage issues.

Why Binder for timber

Specialist knowledge you can't replace with hourly rates.

Timber does not forgive routine. We know the pitfalls — stowage behaviour, moisture, damage patterns, purity by grade. It is precisely this knowledge that sets us apart from any ordinary forwarder.

Material expertise

Sawn timber, panels, parquet, round wood — each type has its own requirements for stowage, ventilation and stacking. Our crews are trained for exactly that.

Timber transport

Timber transport from Bremerhaven across the entire DACH region

Our timber transports run with our own truck fleet directly from our warehouse at the deep-sea port of Bremerhaven — no detours via third-party freight exchanges and no extra handling.

Whether sawn timber, round wood, panel products or parquet: we plan every timber transport to match the goods — with the right equipment, secured loads and drivers who know the material.
