Logs / Roundwood

Exceptional Quality Raw Material

Responsible Harvesting

Within the Lesoteka forest-wood chain, the first steps involve the purchase and logging of wood. After logging, the wood is transported, a process that includes moving logs from the forest to suitable storage areas or areas for further processing. Through these steps, Lesoteka acquires logs - the basic raw material for its activities. We strive for quality logs that meet the needs of customers and comply with the standards and requirements of the wood industry. Our guiding principle is sustainable and environmentally friendly forest management. Other stakeholders in the wood supply chain, with similar values, contribute to sustainable forest management and the preservation of the natural environment. The rich heritage of our forests, people living with the forest, professional forest management, and adaptable production in the forest give us the opportunity and obligation to find an appropriate place for Carinthian spruce wood in human living environments.

Raw Material Assurance

We are a Wood Buyer Processing Most of the Wood Ourselves

The Lesoteka group combines various activities and partner companies directly or indirectly related to forestry and wood processing. A significant portion of the acquired logs is processed in our own sawmill in Šentjanž near Dravograd. The construction and sawn wood obtained find their way to the end customer or are used in the production of solid wood houses, furniture elements, and the production of thermal and electrical energy from by-products. We strive to add the highest possible value to the wood that grows in our region, employing people who live and work here. To ensure smooth production in both sawmills, we need logs. We also need conifer logs of various lengths from 4 to 5 meters since conifer logs of various lengths and diameters are needed for roofs and the construction of solid wood houses. As wood buyers, primarily for our needs, we aim for direct contact and communication with forest owners.

Log Transport

40,000 m³ of Round Wood Annually

Transporting debarked logs represents the final stage in the technological chain of forestry production. Lesoteka ensures transportation for over 40,000 m3 of round wood annually, from the forest or the truck road to our sawmill or external customers. In our fleet, we have modern forestry trucks from MAN with a load capacity of 22 tons, specialized in the transport of round wood. The vehicles are equipped with hydraulic cranes (Palfinger Epsilon) and forestry trailers. With this equipment, we successfully provide suitable working conditions for transportation, meeting legal and other limitations such as:
