Wood - the natural ressource of the 21st century
As a natural and renewable ressource, wood is the ideal alternative to other raw materials and commodities, which are dangerous to the environment during their production: Wood is easy to obtain and to process and at the same time imperishable, dimensionally stable and heat-insulating. In contrast to the production of technical raw materials, which ordinarily requires fossil energy sources, the forest only needs solar energy to grow continuously.
Thereby the forest has the potential to store climate-damaging carbon dioxide, which is not released before the combustion or putrefaction of the wood itself. For the released greenhouse gases are stored by new trees, the forest constitutes a perfect carbon neutral cycle. Moreover the wood-processing needs less energy than other ressources. A sustainable forestry in regional woods avoids long hauls and contributes to the positive energy balance.
Sustainability
In this sense we exclusively use valuable and FSC-certified wood, that comes from renewable and native forest ressources. In addition to that, we exploit residual timber, to realize an ecologically sustainable production: Steinnagel uses forestry byproducts, for instance, to produce woodchips, which are used for plywood and MDF-panels. We even reclaim sawdust, to heat our kilns.
Quality and Production
As a matter of course, Steinnagel only uses the finest timber to produce cable drums, which have a high load capacity, solidity and durability.

The production cycle beginns in the forest, where latest vehicles rapidly and efficiently load the regional wood. At the production location, the logs are stored for the further processing, depending on their quality structure. In the following production stages the roundwood is incised, sorted according to quality and dried.- Drying
Drying
Our large-area kilns are in line with the latest technological standards. The computer-controlled process of drying enables a careful timber drying according to the requested final dampness. Our export products such as cable drums, one-way pallets and packaging supplies are generally made of heat-treated wood (IPPC Standard by ISPM Nr. 15)

In our resource efficient sawmills the logs are tailored to fixed dimension. During the production of our products we place a high value on the adherence to quality standards.
- Factory treatment
Factory treatment
All timbers are impregnated by professional impregnation systems. This makes the timber more durable and more constant against outside influences. Surface treatments such as planing, profiling, surface cutting and drilling via CNC and further modifications are possible.
- Safe Transport
Safe Transport
The fitted cable drums, which are made of spruce wood, are stably strapped with minimum space requirements. This ensures a save and quick transportation. The company-owned truck pool enables us to deliver quickly and reliable.
