Rubner Group: Top Performance Based on Passion for Wood

Driven by a strong passion for wood and with its trendsetting and modern architectural solutions, the Rubner Company Group,which is seated in Kiens / South Tyrol ( has become one of the most important wood processing companies in Europe. Under the lead of Peter Rubner, President of the Rubner Group, the company group works in the following five business sectors: wood industry, wood structures, large turn-key projects, wood homes and wood doors. The family-managed company emerged from a sawmill, which was founded by Josef Rubner senior in the year 1926. Today, the company is run by the third generation and employs about 1,500 staff members that are distributed over the company sites in Italy, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, France and Poland.

The individual companies, which are run under the wings of the Rubner Group, combine a huge portion of experience and know-how – their products stand for highest quality. This applies to the entire product line that is offered – starting with sawn timber and pillar layer frame glue laminated timber to solid wood panels, laminated timber and complex edge-glued wood structures up to doors, windows, turnkey timber houses and large turn-key buildings in timber. Everything is fabricated within a seamless, i.e. unbroken value chain by one single source and on the grounds of an innovative and ecologically sustainable production process.
