GELO – HEROES OF TIMBER
Hand on the wood!
The GELO Holzwerke
GELO Holzwerke is located in Weißenstadt in the Fichtelgebirge, in the heart of one of the most densely forested areas in Germany.
A regional company with Love for wood and sustainability since 1898! We developed from a conventional sawmill into a highly modern and fully integrated wood industry site.
With our subsidiaries WUN Bioenergie and ZARELO, we utilize even the smallest wood residues and create sustainable Energy for the Region and innovative ignition agents.
The locations
The Fichtel Mountains have been GELO's home since it was founded 125 years ago. Our two locations in Weißenstadt and Wunsiedel have continuously developed: the conventional sawmill has become a state-of-the-art and fully integrated wood industry location.
Quality and meticulousness are our highest priority at both of our locations. A total of 186 employees work at both locations, who are responsible for the production of KVH, joinery, frames, rafters and other products every day. We know what we owe to this fantastic raw material and therefore process our wood at our locations with the utmost care and using the most modern machines. Thanks to close monitoring by our trained employees, our complaint rate is less than 1%.
