Mosser

What Mosser does

Mosser is a fourth-generation, family-owned Austrian engineered timber manufacturer headquartered in Randegg, Lower Austria, operating through two legal entities (Mosser Leimholz GmbH and Mosser Holzindustrie GmbH) across three production centers. The company produces glued laminated timber (glulam/Brettschichtholz), cross-laminated timber (X-Lam/CLT/Brettsperrholz), Duolam, prefabricated ceiling elements, sawn timber, and wood briquettes, using technically dried spruce lamellae, melamine urea resin glues, and state-of-the-art scanner-based strength and optical grading to deliver dimensionally stable structural timber for construction.

The business model is B2B direct sales: a multilingual sales team sells engineered timber to specialist wood traders and large industrial processors, with inquiries typically handled within hours and central European logistics enabling delivery to European markets in days. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales (manufactured volumes rather than licenses or subscriptions), with approximately 60% of revenue derived from exports to Europe, Asia, and North America, and the company reports €170 million in annual sales with 245 employees.

Mosser's positioning rests on a 100-year operating history, first-mover status as the European industrial glulam pioneer (1988), the first PEFC-certified Austrian timber processor (2003), energy-efficient drying systems with heat recovery, and a vertically integrated sawmill-to-finished-product chain. Customers value its certified sustainable sourcing, large-dimension glulam (up to 18m length, 240x1240mm sections), fire resistance ratings (D-s2-d0), and 50% lower lifecycle CO2 footprint versus non-renewable construction materials.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Glulam (Brettschichtholz) High-tech engineered timber beams made from technically dried, finger-jointed spruce boards with defects removed, used as structural load-bearing elements in wooden construction. Produces large dimensions with high dimensional stability, D-s2-d0 fire resistance, and 50% lower CO2 footprint versus non-renewable materials over lifecycle. For construction companies, mass timber builders, and industrial processors.
• Cross-Laminated Timber (X-Lam / Brettsperrholz / CLT) Sustainable solid wood construction material consisting of a minimum of three cross-bonded plies with excellent dimensional stability and high prefabrication, used as wall and floor elements in timber construction. For construction companies, mass timber builders, and industrial processors.
• Duolam Finger-jointed product created by binding two lamellae together, offering greater dimensional stability than normal timber or solid construction timber, used in single-family and multi-family house construction. For construction companies and timber builders.
• Ceiling Elements (Deckenelemente) Glulam ceiling and wall elements for use in combination with solid, timber frame, and timber skeleton structures, with high prefabrication and good fire, heat, and sound insulation properties. For construction companies and mass timber builders.
• Sawn Timber (Schnittholz) Various types of sawn timber for multiple applications including glulam production, timber construction, roof construction, and packaging production, including specialized cuts such as Levante and brown timber. For wood traders, construction companies, and packaging producers.
• Wooden Briquettes (Holzbriketts) Premium wood fuel produced by compressing sawdust and shavings from the wood industry under high pressure without adhesive agents, packaged in recyclable PE film. For heating fuel retailers and end-consumers of solid fuel heating.

• Hasslacher Norica Timber: Austrian sawmill and engineered wood manufacturer producing glulam, sawn timber, and biomass. Directly comparable to Mosser in product mix and Austrian-based mass timber positioning.
• Binderholz: Austrian family-owned engineered wood group producing glulam, CLT (BBS), sawn timber, and pellets across multiple European sites. Closest direct competitor to Mosser with overlapping product portfolio and Austrian DACH market focus.
• Wiehag: Austrian manufacturer of glulam beams and CLT panels for industrial and commercial construction. Direct peer with comparable engineered timber offering and Central European customer base.
• Züblin Timber: German engineered timber specialist producing glulam and CLT for commercial and residential construction. Direct peer to Mosser in Central European mass timber construction supply.

Broad incumbents

• Stora Enso: Finnish-Swedish forest products major producing CLT, LVL, glulam, and sawn timber alongside pulp, paper, and packaging. Larger, more diversified competitor operating broadly in the engineered wood space.
• Metsä Wood: Finnish engineered wood producer (part of Metsä Group) offering Kerto LVL and birch plywood products. Broader-incumbent peer with overlapping engineered timber product family.

Regional players

• Holmen Timber: Swedish producer of engineered wood products including glulam beams, with primary focus on Nordic and Northern European markets. Comparable in engineered wood but regionally distinct from Mosser's Austrian/Continental focus.
