Bischoff und Schäfer

What Bischoff und Schäfer does

Bischoff und Schäfer (legal entity BISCHOFF + SCHÄFER Holz GmbH) is a family-owned German wood trading and light-fabrication business headquartered in Neuweiler in the Black Forest region of Baden-Württemberg. The company operates from an 80,000 m² site with 16,000 m² of covered warehouse and a second production facility (Werk II) on Hermann-Löns Straße, and has run in its current form as a pure wood trading company since 1975, with sawmill roots stretching back roughly 150 years. It serves three primary B2B segments — timber construction companies (Holzbau), wood traders (Holzhandel), and the general construction industry — across Germany, with a small but visible cross-border footprint into French, Italian, Portuguese and Polish markets supported by a six-language website and multilingual order, warehouse and transport staff.

The product range covers structural engineered timber (KVH construction timber, BSH glulam, BSP cross-laminated timber, duo/trio beams and Metsä Wood Kerto LVL), wood-based panels (OSB, DWD, DHF, three-layer, plywood), planed goods (profiles, façade profiles), insulation (STEICOfloc cellulose and wood-fibre boards), and Pollmeier BauBuche beech laminated timber. The company is the designated central warehouse for Baden-Württemberg for the AGEPAN SYSTEM product line (Sonae Arauco), offering free 2-day delivery on those SKUs. Processing capabilities include drying, planning, impregnation, custom cutting and CNC-controlled Abbund (precision timber fabrication) that delivers prefabricated components ready for installation on construction sites. All wood is 100% PEFC-certified from sustainable forestry, and key panel lines carry CE 2+, Blue Angel and German general building authority approvals (e.g., Z-9.1-454 for DHF boards).

The business model is a hybrid of commodity distribution and value-added services. One revenue stream is one-time product sales of KVH, BSH, BSP, panels and insulation to timber traders, timber constructors and building-industry buyers; the other is professional services revenue from CNC-controlled Lohnabbund (contract cutting/fabrication), impregnation and custom dimensioning. Pricing is fully quote-based with no public list, distribution is direct (sales team handling phone and email inquiries with delivery via the company’s own logistics or contracted carriers), and go-to-market relies on the website catalog, trade-show presence (notably DACH+HOLZ), and modest social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). Customer reference projects include the Heilig-Geist-Spital Villingen, Mehrzweckhalle Göllsdorf, Festhalle Deisslingen and several kindergarten / Kita builds, indicating activity in the public-sector and education timber construction verticals.
