Who we are
Since 1983, we are proud to be a family business in the European timber industry - having started out as a sawmill in Morbach in the Hunsrück region and grown into one of the largest owner-managed companies with a unique product range in our industry. We create high-quality glued wood from local timber as well as innovative CLT (ED BSP) to take your projects to the next level.
At Eugen Decker Holzindustrie, we are more than just a team - we are a family of over 160 dedicated employees. At our two sites, we use modern technology to manufacture high-quality products from softwood that are in demand throughout Europe.
With our expertise that has grown over three generations, we are your reliable partner for high-quality wood products. For us, tradition and innovation go hand in hand to offer our customers the best solutions every day.
We are a family business - and we want to keep it that way. The succession is assured! Our current Managing Director, Brigitte Decker-Wilbert, is already working hand in hand with the next generation, Lukas Wilbert, the future successor.
Additional support comes from the family: her husband Wolfgang Wilbert, her sisters Christiane Decker-Kümmel and Annette Decker and her niece Giulia Kümmel, who is currently completing her dual studies at the company.
Together, they ensure that our company remains on course for success while preserving the values and traditions that characterise us. Our focus is on family and solidarity. You can count on this - today and in the future.
Our environment
Climate protection is of great importance to us as a company. For this reason, we continuously invest in innovative technologies to make our contribution. The raw material wood has a variety of positive properties, including a lower carbon footprint than many other construction materials.
We are convinced that the use of wood plays an essential role in climate protection and contributes to creating a more sustainable future.
Our CHP plant
In 2023, we built a new combined heat and power plant and use renewable energy and recycled materials to generate clean energy. This not only reduces CO2 emissions, but also conserves our natural resources. Our technology also allows us to effectively use waste products, thus using 100% of the raw material.
We pay attention to sustainable timber management
We are one of the few companies in Europe that is both a sawmill and a producer of glulam and cross-laminated timber (CLT). This also means that we process the entire log at one location and that saves an enormous amount of CO2. The bark produced during the cutting process is an important part of the raw material. It is converted into climate-neutral heat energy in our biomass cogeneration plant. Wood chips, sawdust and shavings are marketed regionally.
We provide a safe workplace in the region
As an employer, we attach great importance to tradition and innovation. We are proud to be part of the regional economy and to employ our staff in the surrounding area. We offer not only secure jobs, but also the opportunity to develop and learn new skills. Our employees are the heart of our company and we are proud to have them as part of our team.
We focus on e-mobility
A clean and emission-free future lies ahead of us. In order to achieve it, it is necessary to use the advantages of electric mobility and at the same time master the challenge. We have already been able to convert a third of our internal forklift traffic to electric forklifts in recent years, and more are on the way.
Our fellow human beings
Being for and with our fellow human beings is important to us as a company. We regularly provide financial support to the outpatient hospice in Morbach or to several regional club athletes. We are also happy to support the cooperation with the German Red Cross in Bernkastel-Wittlich and its workshop for people with disabilities (WfbM). Each of us has the opportunity to help and create a peaceful, friendly and loving environment.
Klimaschutz Holzindustrie
Independent family-owned business
All our activities are directed at securing and strengthening the long-term independence of the family-run company. We are a family-owned business with experience, stability and a long tradition.
Customers and suppliers
We want satisfied customers. Customer service means, for us, knowing and understanding the needs of our customers and suppliers. We always want to find a joint solution, even if the requirements seem impossible at first glance.
Wood saves the climate
With the "Wood saves the climate" initiative, the German timber industry is demonstrating the importance of active climate protection. We are also fully behind it and are committed to it with conviction. Together, we ensure that wood plays an important role in the fight against the climate crisis and that we create a sustainable future.
The mission of "WOOD SAVES THE CLIMATE" is to convince politicians and society that use of wood and active forest management have a real impact on the climate. They want to ensure that companies and consumers act in a more climate-friendly way and help to make forests more stable for the climate.
Wood is not just a material - it is an important and sustainable part of our lives. It grows back and stores climate-damaging CO2 in its products, making it a real climate saver. We bring this natural helper into your life every day - from sawn timber and our glulam products to large ED CLT elements for construction of environmentally house and commercial buildings.
When you choose wood products, you not only improve your quality of life, but also make an important contribution to climate protection. Together, we can create a greener future - with wood as the silent saviour of our climate.
