What Splitkon does
Splitkon AS is a privately held Norwegian manufacturer of massivtre (cross-laminated timber/CLT) and limtre (glulam) structural systems for the construction industry. Founded in 1960 as Splitkon Limtre, the company was renamed Splitkon AS in 2011 after Limtre Holding acquired Martinsons Tre AS; it operates from a 9,000 m² factory in Åmot, Modum — one of the world's largest CLT facilities and Norway's only industrial-scale massivtre producer, with annual capacity of approximately 50,000 m³ across two shifts. Splitkon produces prefabricated wall, floor, and roof elements from PEFC-certified Norwegian spruce (T22 grade) using MUF adhesive and Hundegger K2 CNC machining, with project volumes typically ranging from a few hundred to several thousand cubic metres of massivtre.
The company's business model is project-based B2B sales of custom-engineered, prefabricated timber kits to construction companies, developers, and municipalities, complemented by standard limtre catalog items distributed through Norwegian building materials retailers. Revenue streams are organized around massivtre element sales, glulam structural sales (beams, columns, trusses, S-beams), and a system customer collaboration that delivers standardized elements to recurring builders such as agricultural building suppliers and cabin manufacturers. Splitkon also offers consulting and full engineering documentation services, including connection design and assembly drawings, positioning it as a vertically integrated timber structural supplier rather than a commodity manufacturer. Reported FY2023 revenue was 316 MNOK with over 70 employees, and the company is entering 2026 with a near-full order book, active hiring, and a return to two-shift production while exploring export into Denmark.

Splitkon AS manufactures and supplies cross-laminated timber (massivtre/CLT) and glulam (limtre) structural systems from its 9,000 m² factory in Åmot, Modum, Norway. The company produces prefabricated wall, floor, and roof elements custom-engineered per project, CNC-machined for precision assembly, and delivers them as pre-cut building kits to construction sites. It also offers standard glulam inventory items through building materials retailers.
Product overview
Splitkon is Norway's largest manufacturer of massivtre (cross-laminated timber/CLT) and limtre (glulam), operating one of the world's largest massivtre factories in Åmot, Modum. The company offers prefabricated timber structural systems for commercial, institutional, agricultural, and residential construction. Their product portfolio centers on two core products: massivtre (cross-laminated timber panels) and limtre (glulam beams and columns). These are complemented by standard inventory products including standard glulam, pressure-treated glulam, glulam panels, S-beams, and trusses. The offering extends to CNC precision machining/pre-cut services for element preparation, complete building systems integrating multiple timber components, and specialized consulting for timber-based construction solutions. All products are made from PEFC-certified Norwegian spruce and manufactured using MUF adhesive for superior fire resistance.

Products and services
- Massivtre (Cross-Laminated Timber / CLT) Cross-laminated timber panels made from T22-grade Norwegian spruce lamellae bonded with MUF adhesive. Available in panel sizes from 2.4×6 m up to 3.5×16 m, thicknesses 60–360 mm, with 3–9 layers. Used as prefabricated walls, floors, and roofs in multi-story timber buildings. Produced for construction companies, developers, and municipalities.
- Limtre (Glulam) Glulam beams and columns made by gluing multiple timber lamellae in the same direction, produced in standard strength classes GL 30C and GL 28H. Custom glulam is manufactured per project specification for beams, columns, trusses, and structural systems in commercial, residential, and agricultural buildings.
- Standard Limtre Stocked standard glulam beams and columns in various dimensions for off-the-shelf purchase through building materials retailers. Widths 42–165 mm, heights 90–630 mm, produced to EN 338, NS-EN 14080, and EN 16351 in strength class GL 30C.

Splitkon competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Moelven: Norwegian broad wood products group that previously owned the historical Splitkon Limtre; competes in glulam and engineered wood across the Nordic market but does not specialize in industrial-scale CLT like Splitkon.
- Holmen: Swedish forest industry group that owns Holmen Wood AB (a Splitkon supplier) and Martinsons; competes and partners in Nordic glulam/CLT and is a broader incumbent in engineered wood.
Direct peers
- Binderholz: Austrian family-owned manufacturer of CLT, glulam, and solid wood panels with multiple European plants; competes for large multi-story and commercial mass timber tenders alongside Splitkon.
- Mayr-Melnhof Holz: Austrian CLT, glulam, and sawn timber producer with multiple European sites; directly comparable product range and customer segments as Splitkon.
- Hasslacher Norica Timber: Austrian-based CLT, glulam, and structural timber producer with sawmills across Europe; competes with Splitkon in engineered wood for commercial and institutional buildings.
- Martinsons (Holmen): Swedish CLT and glulam producer owned by Holmen; Martinsons Tre AS was the predecessor entity acquired to form today's Splitkon, and remains a directly comparable Nordic mass timber producer.
- Stora Enso: One of the largest CLT and glulam producers globally, operating multi-site European manufacturing and competing directly with Splitkon in commercial and multi-story mass timber projects.
Emerging players
- XLam: Australia- and New Zealand-based CLT manufacturer focused on commercial and residential mass timber; comparable product technology and engineering approach but geographically distant.
- Structurlam: Canadian mass timber manufacturer of CLT and glulam used in large North American commercial projects; offers comparable engineered wood products with similar project-based B2B model.
- SmartLam: North American CLT/glulam manufacturer with multiple U.S. plants producing cross-laminated timber panels and beams for commercial and multi-family projects.
