FROM A SINGLE GLULAM BEAM TO MAJOR PROJECTS

GLULAM FOR WORLDWIDE TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
PRECISION AT EVERY SCALE

We specialise in manufacturing project-specific glulam components using state-of-the-art production technology, backed by 175 years of timber engineering experience.

Using CNC-controlled machinery throughout the production process, we manufacture glulam beams and columns in all sizes for both individual components and complex structural systems. These range from simple cross-sections to multi-layer bonded composite components designed for high loads.

We achieve a high level of prefabrication, ensuring consistent quality and installation-ready components. Steel parts, reinforcements, connectors and lifting points are pre-assembled, with coatings and weather protection applied before delivery. This reduces installation times and minimises risks on site. For our clients, this means cost efficiency and greater certainty in delivery, first-class quality and efficient project execution.

Specialised in large-volume glulam components
Virtually all beam shapes, with lengths up to 50 m
Installation-ready component packages including all connectors
Industrial prefabrication with continuous quality management

BEAMS AND COLUMNS

GLULAM COMPONENTS
INDUSTRIAL PREFABRICATION

In our glulam production, we manufacture straight, curved, cambered and block-glued beams for high structural loads, in dimensions of up to 50 metres in length and five metres in height.

Modern, digitally connected machinery enables fully automated, high-precision machining of timber components. Production data is transferred directly from our in-house Engineering to Production, minimising potential sources of error and ensuring precise execution.

In addition to glulam beams and columns, we also prefabricate timber-hybrid and composite components using industrial production methods. Steel parts, connectors and project-specific inserts are pre-assembled at the factory.

End-to-end digital production logistics provides real-time transparency on the status and location of every component.

We process spruce, fir, larch, pine and Douglas fir.

ENORMOUS CAPACITY

HIGH VOLUMES
LARGE DIMENSIONS

Our production capacity enables us to deliver major International projects reliably and to consistently high standards. Across our 22.5-hectare site, around 45,000 m² of covered production space is available.

High-performance machining systems for all beam shapes and block-glued components allows us to process large volumes in parallel while also producing complex individual components with precision. This is supported by a drying capacity for more than 100,000 m³ of sawn timber per year.

This production capability provides reliability even on demanding projects – particularly those involving large volumes of glulam, tight schedules or unusual component dimensions and shapes. At the same time, we remain flexible enough to efficiently meet project-specific requirements.

ASSURED QUALITY

THE HIGHEST QUALITY STANDARDS
CERTIFIED AND CONTROLLED

Our ISO 9001 Quality Assurance system covers the entire process, from Engineering and Production through to the installation-ready end product. Our in-house Quality Management team oversees the entire glulam manufacturing process, ensuring that all specified quality requirements are consistently met and fully documented.

We also work with our clients to define project-specific quality requirements. Digital records and documentation are available in real time, both internally and externally. Our commitment to high quality standards is backed by extensive product certification.

BESTSELLER LOGISTICS CENTRE WEST

In just 34 weeks, we produced around 14,700 m³ of block-glued glulam components for Europe’s largest timber logistics centre, covering approximately 155,000 m².

To project

ASCENT TOWER

One of the first timber-hybrid high-rises in the USA, the 85-metre-high Ascent Tower features 19 timber storeys and incorporates 2,200 m³ of glulam.

To project

EDEKA LOGISTICS CENTRE

Covering approximately 100,000 m², the logistics centre incorporates more than 13,000 m³ of glulam, including 36-metre-high columns for the tallest section of the building.

GRÜNBERG OBSERVATION TOWER

The distinctive form of the 39-metre-high tower was created using curved glulam beams and an internal ramp structure. The glulam components were manufactured from spruce and Douglas fir.

TIMBER POWER

CAPACITY, PRECISION AND EXPERIENCE
WIEHAG TIMBER CONSTRUCTION

As an Austrian glulam manufacturer, we deliver unique timber buildings around the world. Our production facility in Altheim has the capacity to supply glulam components for more than 160 projects in Austria and internationally each year.

Tight manufacturing tolerances throughout the production process allow even large-scale buildings to be fully prefabricated without the need for adjustment sections. As pioneers in timber engineering, we draw on expertise gained from many complex international timber construction projects.

Engineering, Production and Project Management bring together extensive expertise at the WIEHAG Campus and operate as one integrated system.This allows us to coordinate technical requirements early, prepare production processes efficiently and adapt to the specific demands of each project.

TIMBER STATEMENT

At WIEHAG, we combine modern technology, creativity and traditional knowledge to transform renewable timber into glulam components for projects that meet the demands of modern architecture and attract attention in Austria and around the world.
