Quality & Responsibility
Sustainability and quality:
wood from GELO
Harvesting a tree means creating quality of life for people who live ecologically and want to leave a healthy environment for their children. Local wood is beneficial for body and soul.
Wood production at GELO is in harmony with nature. And there is no other material that can boast such an impeccable ecological balance as wood. It is not without reason that we are once again talking about the beginning of a new era of wood.
- wood from the Fichtelgebirge
- Siberian larch from certified cultivation
- Processing and finishing from a single source
- Certified Sustainability
Love for wood in every product
Every beam and every board is a unique piece, because every tree - like every person - is naturally different. We bring out the best in every single trunk.
We know what we owe to our fantastic raw material and therefore process our wood with the utmost care and using the most modern machines. At GELO, the wood is processed in such a way that it looks planed even in its raw state.
What makes GELO so special: We can fulfill almost all of our customers' special requests! A very small board and a very thick beam up to 14m long at the same time? No problem for us!
Complete processing
We use the raw material wood with almost no waste! At GELO, even the smallest wood scraps are processed so that nothing is wasted: In our subsidiary ZARELO, we turn coarse wood shavings into modern fireplace lighters. Fine sawdust is pressed into pellets, an environmentally friendly heating agent, in our subsidiary WUN Bioenergie. We owe this sustainability to the raw material wood!
Utmost care in production
We are proud that our complaint rate is below 1%. We only achieve this excellent figure because we ensure the highest quality in every step of the process and can reduce waste using modern measuring techniques. At GELO, every log is measured using laser technology so that the optimal products can be cut from it: This reduces waste and increases sustainability!
