What Omtre does

Omtre AS is a Norwegian construction materials company that upcycles reclaimed timber into high-performance building products. Founded approximately in 2020 after a decade of R&D by its founding team, Omtre operates from Hønefoss, Norway, with a current headcount of 9 employees. The company targets architects, engineers, contractors, and developers in the Norwegian construction industry with a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market approach.

The company's core technology centers on two proprietary product lines. Reblokk is a patented building block system crafted from recycled cross-laminated timber (CLT), enabling rapid wall construction through standardized blocks that retain individual texture. Rejoin is strength-graded structural lumber assembled from reclaimed construction and manufacturing waste using finger-joining technology. Omtre claims its upcycled timber products reduce CO2 emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional timber construction. The company's first commercial facility has an annual production capacity of 15,000 m3 for Rejoin lumber.

Omtre generates revenue through hardware sales of Reblokk and Rejoin products to construction industry buyers in Norway. Distribution is exclusively direct B2B, with no retail or marketplace channels, and the company relies on digital outreach via LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram for top-of-funnel awareness. The company currently serves only the Norwegian market and emphasizes its multidisciplinary team of engineers, architects, scientists, and sustainability experts as a key differentiator in the upcycled timber niche.

Core offering

Omtre manufactures and sells upcycled construction products made from reclaimed timber. Its product lines include Reblokk, a patented building block system produced from recycled cross-laminated timber (CLT) for walls and structures, and Rejoin, strength-graded finger-joined structural lumber made from reclaimed construction and manufacturing waste, sold in a broad range of sizes to construction professionals.

Product overview

Omtre offers two main product lines focused on upcycled timber construction. Reblokk is a patented recycled CLT building block system for walls and structures, while Rejoin is finger-joined structural lumber made from reclaimed waste material. Together, these products enable sustainable construction by upcycling reclaimed timber into high-performance building materials that reduce CO2 emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional timber.

Functional benefit

Brands

• Reblokk: Patented recycled CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) building block system designed for new construction, renovation, and interior fitouts. Suitable for interior partition walls, exterior load-bearing structures, office partitions, wind walls, and free-standing structures such as garages, tool sheds, and annexes.
• Rejoin

Products and services

• Reblokk Reblokk is a patented building block system crafted from recycled cross-laminated timber (CLT). Each block is standardized in size but has a subtle individual texture, enabling full walls to be constructed in minutes. It is designed for new construction, renovation, and interior fitouts, and is suitable for interior partition walls, exterior load-bearing structures, office partitions, wind walls, and free-standing structures such as garages, tool sheds, and annexes. Sold to architects, engineers, contractors, and developers.
• Rejoin Rejoin is strength-graded structural lumber assembled from reclaimed construction and manufacturing waste using finger-joining technology. It is delivered in a broad range of sizes for both small and large volumes and serves construction professionals requiring structural timber for building projects.

Quantifiable outcome

• CO2 emissions reduced by up to 75% from timber projects

Broad incumbents

• Binderholz: Austrian family-owned manufacturer of CLT, glulam, and sawn timber with multiple production sites across Europe. Competes in the same mass-timber and structural-lumber categories as Omtre's Reblokk and Rejoin, though focused on virgin rather than reclaimed wood.
• KLH Massivholz: Austrian manufacturer of large-format CLT panels for walls, floors, and roofs. Competes for structural-engineer specifications on timber construction projects across Europe in the same applications as Reblokk.
• Mayr-Melnhof Holz: Austrian sawn timber and engineered wood producer with cross-laminated timber offerings. Comparable as a European structural-engineered-wood incumbent competing for the same architect/contractor relationships as Omtre.
• Hasslacher Norica Timber: Austrian sawmill and engineered wood group producing CLT, glulam, sawn timber, and pellets. Competes with Omtre across structural lumber and engineered wood categories in European construction markets.
• Metsä Wood: Finnish engineered wood producer (part of Metsä Group) manufacturing Kerto LVL and other structural timber products. Competes with Omtre's Rejoin in the structural-lumber category and with broader mass-timber offerings across European construction.
• Stora Enso: Major European forest products company producing CLT, LVL, and other engineered wood building products under brands such as Sylva. Competes for the same architects and construction projects as Omtre but at vastly greater scale and with a conventional (not recycled) feedstock.

Direct peers

• Egoin: Basque Country-based CLT and engineered wood manufacturer producing structural timber panels and building components. Comparable mid-sized European CLT player competing for architects and construction firms in the same mass-timber specification space as Omtre.
• SmartLam: US-based manufacturer of CLT panels and mass timber products for commercial and residential construction. Comparable product category to Reblokk/Rejoin, though serving the North American market rather than Norway.
• CREE Buildings: German-Austrian timber construction company producing prefabricated building systems from reclaimed and sustainable timber. Directly comparable to Omtre's Reblokk concept of standardized, rapid-assembly timber building components made from upcycled wood.

Emerging players

• Lendager Group: Danish architecture and development firm pioneering circular, upcycled timber building solutions and reusable building components. Comparable to Omtre's circular-economy positioning and use of reclaimed wood in construction, though with a design/development model rather than manufacturing focus.
