Raw materials

Timber is much more than raw material, it is the essence of our industry. A completely sustainable material which helps prevent climate change and which offers matchless constructive and decorative possibilities. Therefore, we are aware of our responsibility as regards its preservation. If we want to offer the highest level of quality, we need prime raw material. But is is our duty to guarantee development based in the renovation of resources and in the protection of the environment. For this reason, we actively promote the use of timber from PEFC and FSC forests (the certifications that guarantee sustainable forest management). In addition to this, over 60% of the wood used in the manufacture of our products comes from recycled raw material, sawmill waste products, sawdust, wood shavings, and other remains from the cleaning of forests, etc.

Raw materials and the environment.

Through our Environmental Policy, we are actively committed to the protection of the environment. We want our manufacturing processes to havethe least environmental impact possible. In this sense, we are one of the cleanest companies: we generate more energy than what we waste for the processing of our products. All our manufacturing processes are optimised so that we achieve maximum energy saving by cogeneration (exploitation of the heat and energy produced by the own factory) and minimum waste production. Besides, the waste materials generated by our activity as well as recycled materials from other industries are used to create energy through our biomass factories.
