What Bergsten Timber A/S does
Bergsten Timber A/S is a Danish B2B timber distributor founded in 2009 by Morten Bergsten and headquartered in Køge, Denmark. The company sources and distributes certified sustainable wood products (FSC-C102074 and PEFC) to local lumber yards across Denmark and Europe, alongside direct supply to architects, contractors, and public construction projects. Core product categories include construction timber, facade cladding, terrace boards, fencing, and premium specialty woods, with a stated annual throughput of more than 160,000 M3 and 15+ daily truck deliveries to customers.
The company's differentiation rests on exclusive Danish distribution rights for several proprietary wood technologies: Lunawood ThermoWood (thermally modified wood, partnership since 2022), Norrlands Trä premium panels (since 2013), Accoya acetylated wood (since 2024), and BURNBLOCK fire-retardant treatment through Danish Anti Fire. Custom profiling and surface treatment are delivered through a Protræ partnership, and a design-protected WOODS profile was co-developed with architect Lars Vejen. Products are listed on the NBS Nordic specification platform, allowing architects to embed them directly in project documentation.
The business model is wholesale distribution with quote-based pricing, supplemented by custom project manufacturing and fire-impregnation services. Go-to-market combines channel sales through lumber yards with direct enterprise field sales to architects and contractors for project-specific solutions. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales and custom processing fees, with no disclosed SaaS, subscription, or recurring component. Customer references span government, enterprise, mid-market, and nonprofit segments across schools, fire stations, housing developments, cultural buildings, and care facilities.
