Rubner Group

What Rubner Group does

Rubner Group is a privately held, 4th-generation South Tyrolean family business founded in 1926 and headquartered in Kiens, Italy, operating across the entire wood value chain from certified sustainable forestry to finished timber construction projects. Through ten wholly-owned subsidiaries — including Rubner Holzindustrie (raw timber processing), Nordpan (engineered wood panels), Rubner Ingenieurholzbau (large-scale engineered timber construction), Rubner Haus (prefab timber homes), holzius (solid wood systems), Rubner Türen (custom doors with four production facilities), Rubner Fenster (wooden windows), BCB, ILP, and the Rubner Stiftung foundation — the group serves private customers, property developers, tourism and hospitality businesses, building-material resellers, and architects/construction professionals across Italy, the DACH region, and France.

The group's technology centers on physical wood processing and engineered timber: CNC 5-axis cutting centers, fire/sound/burglary-rated functional doors (up to RC3), and structural timber engineering for multi-storey residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. All timber is sourced exclusively from certified sustainably managed regional forests in South Tyrol, with the value chain described as unique in Europe for its completeness and supply security. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct technical sales consultants, a regional consultant network, and a reseller channel; pricing is project-based with non-binding custom quotations, and the group reports no publicly disclosed revenue. Leadership rests with family members Stefan and Peter Rubner, with Michael Rubner (Peter's son) representing the next generation.
