Jorkisch

What Jorkisch does

Jorkisch (legal entity Bernd Jorkisch GmbH & Co. KG) is a family-owned, German-limited-partnership wood trading and manufacturing business headquartered in Daldorf, Schleswig-Holstein, with 180+ employees across three locations, a 40-vehicle owned logistics fleet, and an annual raw-timber throughput above 300,000 Festmeter. The group operates vertically across the wood value chain: upstream raw-timber harvesting with its own Harvester and Forwarder machines and trade/logistics in Rundholz and Energieholz; midstream trading in construction timber, wood-based panels (OSB, DHF, plywood, hardboard, HPL), and steel/plastic roofing systems; and downstream consumer manufacturing and distribution under the registered Joda® brand covering carports, garden and holiday houses, saunas, terrace roofs, fencing, decking, playground equipment, and a proprietary wood-care system (Joda®Color).

Downstream, Jorkisch designs and fabricates modular and custom carports and garden houses on CNC-controlled Abbundanlagen and sells them through two complementary channels: a B2B Fachhandel wholesale network accessed via the Jorkisch Händlerportal (handel.jorkisch.de) with dedicated dealer product data via Plytix, and a direct-to-consumer Joda® online shop (joda.de), supported by Fachmarkt and outdoor exhibition showrooms, trade-fair presence, and its own professional Montageservice assembly team capable of nationwide 72-hour delivery. The third-party Wohnen assortment (KÖMMERLING windows, Meister flooring, HUGA doors) is offered within the company's local catchment.

The business is FSC-, PEFC-, and RAL-certified, sustains the Joda® Baukasten modular system with 10-year (carport) and 5-year (block house) warranties, and serves end consumers (homeowners), trade and retail partners, industrial buyers (sawmills, paper mills, biomass plants), and commercial/municipal entities with custom structures. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Jobega GmbH handles custom wood construction projects. Pricing is non-public and channel-dependent (dealer registration or consumer e-commerce); no external institutional ownership, funding events, or public-listing signals are present in the source data.

Broad incumbents

• FRITZ EGGER GmbH & Co. OG: Austrian-headquartered wood-based panels manufacturer producing OSB, MDF, DHF, and laminates. Direct supplier relationship with Jorkisch (EGGER-sourced DHF boards) and operates in the same engineered wood products value chain, making it a benchmark peer for Jorkisch's Holz & Bau wholesale segment.
• Bauhaus AG: Major European DIY and workshop retailer with German roots and a broad building materials assortment including lumber and garden wood products. Comparable end-customer overlap with Jorkisch's joda.de channel but at significantly larger scale and broader category coverage.
• Hagebau Handelsgesellschaft für Baustoffe mbH & Co. KG: German building materials cooperative serving trades and DIY customers with lumber, panels, construction materials, and garden products. Broader assortment than Jorkisch and serves more downstream retail, but overlaps materially on lumber, panels, and timber construction.
• Hornbach Holding AG & Co. KGaA: Public German DIY and building materials big-box retailer with nationwide store network. Overlaps with Jorkisch on lumber, panels, and garden wood products but operates at much larger scale and broader assortment across all home improvement categories.
• OBI Group Holding SE & Co. KGaA: German DIY retail chain selling lumber, panels, garden houses, and outdoor wood structures alongside a full home improvement assortment. Overlaps with Jorkisch at the consumer-facing layer of the garden wood category and competes for the same Fachhandel-adjacent trade customer.

Others
