Eugen Decker

What Eugen Decker does

Eugen Decker Holzindustrie GmbH & Co. KG is a third-generation, family-owned engineered timber manufacturer founded in 1983 in Morbach, Hunsrück, Germany. With 160 employees operating across two integrated production sites — Werk 1 (sawmill, planing mill, and glulam factory 1) and Werk 2 (glulam factories 2 and 3 plus BSP/CLT production) — the company runs one of the few European operations that spans the full timber value chain from raw log to finished wall, ceiling, and roof elements at a single locality. Its core product portfolio comprises six engineered timber lines: ED KVH® solid structural timber (spruce, pine, Douglas fir), ED BSH glulam beams (spruce, pine, Douglas fir, larch, GL24 grade), ED BSP cross laminated timber panels for large-format applications up to 15 m, DUO/TRIO laminated beams (Balkenschichtholz/BMR), DUO vertical stems for timber framing, and BSE Brettstapelelemente with tongue-and-groove joints. Underpinning production is an integrated technology stack including an in-house sawmill, artificial drying kilns, a Holtec Paketkappsäge VarioCut cutting system for KVH/DUO/BSH packages up to 13.4 m, CNC precision timber framing, and a Minda BSP press plant.

The firm sells directly to B2B customers — construction companies, architects, timber-frame builders, developers, and government entities — through a quote-based, project-specific pricing model with no published rate card. Its go-to-market is sales-led, with a dedicated named contact for each regional market (Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg) plus a five-person project leader team for CLT/BSP projects. Lead capture runs through a multilingual website inquiry form (DE, FR, ES, EN), supplemented by long-running presence at the DACH+HOLZ International trade fair in Stuttgart, the Floriade Expo, content marketing via the ED Blog and newsletter, and earned media in outlets such as Holzkurier, Trierischer Volksfreund, and SWR TV. Customer segments span residential construction (single- and multi-family), commercial and industrial construction (offices, hangars, sports halls), and public/institutional construction (schools, kindergartens, government buildings, healthcare facilities) across DACH, France, Switzerland, Spain, and BeNeLux.

Monetization is anchored in hardware sales of custom-manufactured engineered timber under multi-year project contracts, with revenue diversification across residential, commercial, institutional, and government end-markets. Notable reference projects include the European Parliament Brussels Passerelle connecting structure, Parliament Vaud Lausanne roofing, Don Bosco School Brussels, Student Housing Belval (45 apartments for the University of Luxembourg), Büchenbeuren Health Centre, Hotel Heidegrund, Stadtwerke Trier office building, and an aircraft hangar in Cannes. The company holds the registered ED KVH® trademark, complies with European structural timber standards (DIN EN 14080, DIN EN 1995-1-1, DIN EN 338, DIN EN 4074-1), and since September 2023 has been a member of the KLIMASCHUTZ HOLZINDUSTRIE initiative with biennial CO2 balancing per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Ownership is held through Hochwald Holz + Logistik GmbH, with Brigitte Decker-Wilbert and Wolfgang Wilbert serving as General Managers after the 2023 succession to the third generation.
