EcoCurves

What EcoCurves does

EcoCurves is a UK-based bespoke manufacturer of glue-laminated timber (glulam) curves and arches, operating as a member company of the Jagram Group from its headquarters at The Old Stock Exchange, St Nicholas Street, Bristol. Founded in 1990 and employing 51-100 people, the company positions itself as one of the largest and most renowned manufacturers of laminated timber curves in Europe. Its customer base spans construction companies, architects, landscape designers, building contractors, and residential homeowners, primarily across the UK and select European markets including Poland and Germany.

The company's core offering centers on custom-manufactured glulam arches and curves, available in non-typical shapes and dimensions from 1 to 10,000 pieces per order, with structural arches spanning up to 26 meters. Production relies on CNC-optimized manufacturing using 5-axis CNC shapers and digital centres capable of 4,000 units per shift, with proprietary factory computers converting elaborate shapes into finished products in roughly 40 minutes. In-house pressure treatment is provided via a 14-meter autoclave using Tanalith E and Osmose preservatives. The product portfolio spans carports and bike shelters (Oxford, Nevada, Alaska, Arizona, Cardiff, Bolton, Exeter, Dundee models), big-span construction curves, dormer windows, walkways, bridge constructions, swimming pool enclosures, garden timber curves (Marrakech, Valencia Pergola, S-Line Pergola, Balneo SPA, Kate Hammock), trade fair stands, and the Concertina Canopy launched in September 2016 which combines TCL glulam curves with tensile fabric in partnership with Base Structures. Products carry EN 14080 - GL 24 C structural certification alongside ISO 9001, TÜV, PEFC, and EC Certificate of Conformity credentials.

The business model is project-based with quote-driven pricing and no published list prices. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of bespoke glulam products, with go-to-market reliant on enterprise field sales, direct phone and email engagement, downloadable PDF brochures, and a heavy trade show presence across Timber Expo, Ecobuild, Vision London, Budma (Poland), and Spoga/Gafa (Germany). Distribution is direct to mid-market and enterprise construction/architecture clients, with the company functioning as both a manufacturer (under the Jagram Group umbrella) and a partnership collaborator with firms such as Base Structures and Cowley Timberwork.

Direct peers

• Wiehag (WIEHAG GmbH): Austrian manufacturer of glulam and CLT components, known for large-span timber structures supplied across Europe. Comparable as a European engineered wood member manufacturer with similar structural certification and project-scale capabilities.
• Rubner Holzbau (Holzindustrie Rubner): Austrian/South Tyrolean timber engineering group that designs and manufactures glulam beams, curved timber structures, and CLT solutions for large-span commercial and public buildings. Directly comparable as a European manufacturer of engineered glulam structural members and curved timber components.
• Cowley Timberwork: UK-based bespoke glulam manufacturer producing spruce glulam components for award-winning architectural projects such as Bishop Edward King Chapel. Directly comparable as a UK specialist in bespoke curved and structural glulam work serving architects and construction firms.
• HESS TIMBER GmbH: German specialist in custom glulam beams, curved timber members (including large radii), and engineered wood products for architectural and infrastructure projects. Closely comparable as a European bespoke glulam supplier serving architects and construction firms.
• PFEIFER Timber: One of Europe's largest glulam and engineered wood producers with a broad portfolio of beams, columns, and curved glulam members for residential and commercial construction. Comparable to EcoCurves as a large-scale European glulam manufacturer with structural certifications.
• Mayr-Melnhof Holz: Austrian sawmill and glulam group producing engineered wood products including glulam beams and cross-laminated timber for European construction markets. Comparable to EcoCurves as a vertically integrated European timber manufacturer with structural certifications.

Broad incumbents

• Binderholz: Austrian integrated timber group producing sawn timber, glulam, CLT, and solid wood panels at large scale across multiple European sites. A broader incumbent offering engineered wood members similar to EcoCurves' glulam arches but across a much wider portfolio.
• Stora Enso (Wood Products division): Global forest products company with a major European engineered wood (CLT and glulam) business serving large construction projects. A broader incumbent in the same engineered wood member category, with much larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Others

• Base Structures: UK-based specialist in tensile fabric architecture and complementary canopy structures. Listed as a partner rather than a direct competitor; relevant because Base Structures co-developed EcoCurves' Concertina product, making it the closest comparable in the tensile/canopy specialty channel serving similar architects and landscape customers.

Emerging players

• Accsys Technologies (Accoya): UK-listed company producing acetylated wood (Accoya) for high-durability outdoor structural and architectural applications. Comparable to EcoCurves at the overlap of certified, durable engineered timber for architectural outdoor structures, though focused on wood chemistry rather than glulam curves.
