What Holz Stürm AG does

Holz Stürm AG is a privately held Swiss Aktiengesellschaft headquartered at Bleicheweg 7, Goldach (St. Gallen canton), founded in 1842 and operated as a multi-generational family business. The company manufactures, processes, and trades wood materials for the construction and interior-finishing markets, operating four in-house competencies — Hobelwerk (planing mill), Holzhandel (wood trading), Färberei (wood dyeing and pre-weathering), and Holztragwerke (wooden structural engineering) — alongside a broad product portfolio spanning structural elements (Brettsperrholz/CLT, Kielstegelemente, BSH glulam, Konstruktionsholz), exterior finishes (Terrassenbeläge, Fassaden), interior finishes (Innenverkleidungen, premium 3-Schicht-Platte aus Weisstanne developed with Brühwiler Sägewerk), panels, sawn timber, and reclaimed wood (Altholz).

The company serves construction firms, carpenters, architects, and end consumers primarily in Eastern Switzerland (St. Gallen, Thurgau, Graubünden, Zürich), distributed through direct sales from the Goldach headquarters, a dedicated e-commerce webshop at shop.holzstuerm.ch, and a self-service terrace planning tool. Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales of wood materials and value-added processing services; no pricing is publicly disclosed and individual transaction economics are quote-driven. The firm holds PEFC (2022) and Lignum (certificate 30-0190) sustainability certifications, maintains a presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, and advertises open inside-sales and apprenticeship positions alongside a current job posting. With ~10 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, Holz Stürm AG operates as a small, family-controlled regional wood specialist.
