The history of Sarner Holz is an impressive evolution from a local craft business to an innovative, internationally operating family enterprise.
The roots go back to the year 1917, when a farm including a simple, water-powered farmer's sawmill was acquired in the Dick hamlet in the Sarntal / Val Sarentino.
The official founding of Sarner Holz KG took place in 1962. Under the leadership of co-founder Alfons Kemenater, dynamic expansion began:
Purchase of a farm with farmer's saw
Expansion of production with a full frame saw line
Foundation of Sarner Leimholz
Since then, we have been specialists for window scantlings!
around 60 employees work for Sarner Holz
Construction of another production hall
Switch to HVO
Construction of the first production hall with a band saw
Commissioning of the first drying chamber
Christian, Günther, and Harald Kemenater take over management from father Alfons
Construction of a new production facility: 4 floors for glued laminated timber production
100 employees work for Sarner Holz
Expansion of the solar system
Sarner Holz continues on an expansion course!
We are expanding our market share, entering new markets, and focusing on what defines us: Best quality, best service, and honest work.
Simply. Special.
Since the company's founding in 1962 by Alfons Kemenater, Sarner Holz has evolved from a simple sawmill into an innovative, internationally active family business with over 180 employees. Under the current management of the Kemenater brothers, in-house refinement and infrastructure have been continuously modernized to guarantee the highest quality from the Sarntal / Val Sarentino.
