What Construct does
Construct is a brand of Palmako AS, an Estonian privately-held timber manufacturer owned by Lemeks Group (the largest Estonian forest and timber industry conglomerate). Construct specializes in glued laminated timber (glulam) products for the European construction industry: structural glulam beams used as posts and for weight-bearing constructions, duo/trio beams for enhanced load capacity, glulam logs for log-house wall construction, and finger-jointed construction timber. A value-added CNC beam-processing service is offered on top, using a Hundegger K2i machine to cut beams to customer drawings. Production has run since 2007 and is concentrated at four Estonian factories (Kavastu, Põltsamaa, Laekvere, and Ojaküla), with the Kavastu site expanded in 2018 via a EUR 7.5M new glulam production line. Annual capacity is 30,000+ m3, and 93% of output is exported.
Construct sells to three primary customer groups: external log house manufacturers that buy glulam as an input to their own production (the primary use case), construction companies needing certified structural timber, and a network of 12+ European resellers and direct branches in the UK, France, Germany, and the USA. Pricing is quote-based with no public list price. The company services customers in 8 languages and maintains reseller stock to deliver in 1-8 working days across Europe. Revenue model is straightforward B2B hardware sales of physical timber products, with internal captive demand from Palmako's own log house operations supplementing third-party sales. All products are made from FSC- and PEFC-certified Nordic spruce and carry EN 14080 and CE certifications (0672-CPR-0465), positioning Construct as a compliance-grade supplier for regulated European construction projects.
Construct's go-to-market is a hybrid channel model: a quote-driven website (construct.ee, multilingual) generates leads, while a pan-European reseller/representative network handles localized sales, stocking, and last-mile delivery. The brand also benefits from being embedded within Lemeks Group's vertically integrated supply chain, securing upstream Nordic spruce feedstock. The company has invested more than EUR 15M in production technology cumulatively, with the most recent major capital event being the 2018 Kavastu expansion.

Construct competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Binderholz: Austrian family-owned glulam and CLT manufacturer with a multi-site European footprint and a similar B2B model serving construction and prefabricated timber building customers; directly comparable to Construct across product mix, channel structure, and structural-timber focus.
- KLH Massivholz: Austrian manufacturer of CLT panels and engineered wood with strong European export presence; competes with Construct in the certified mass-timber space, particularly for projects requiring premium structural wood products.
- Mayr-Melnhof Holz: Austrian sawmill and glulam manufacturer (MM Holz) selling cross-laminated and glued laminated timber across Europe with sawmill-to-finished-product integration; very similar size, product profile, and export orientation to Construct.
- Hasslacher Nordica Timber: Austrian sawmilling and glulam producer (part of Hasslacher group) selling certified structural timber across Europe with sawmill-to-glulam integration; overlaps with Construct on glulam beams, certified sourcing, and European channel distribution.
- Pfeifer Holz: Family-owned Austrian-German timber group producing sawn timber, glulam, and CLT with strong export focus across Europe; competes head-to-head with Construct in structural glulam beams and engineered wood members.
Regional players
- Moelven Industrier: Nordic building products group focused on glulam, timber, and modular construction primarily in Scandinavia; comparable product mix but more concentrated Nordic footprint versus Construct's pan-European reseller model.
- Martinsons (Holmen): Swedish manufacturer of glulam, CLT, and engineered wood within the Holmen group; competes with Construct's Nordic spruce positioning in Scandinavian and Northern European structural timber markets.
Broad incumbents
- Setra Group: Swedish sawmilling and wood products company producing glulam, CLT, and value-added wood products; comparable in Nordic-sourced structural timber but operates at broader scale across multiple product categories.
- Stora Enso (Building Solutions / CLT & Glulam): Large Nordic-listed forest products group producing CLT, LVL, and glulam alongside pulp, paper, and packaging; competes with Construct in structural engineered wood but as one segment of a much broader portfolio with greater scale and capital access.
Others
- Pallmann / Hundegger: German manufacturer of CNC beam-processing machinery (Hundegger) and tooling (Pallmann); adjacent rather than competing, since Construct operates Hundegger K2i lines, but represents the equipment ecosystem and supplier channel for glulam processors.
