What Lignoalp does

LignoAlp (legal entity Damiani-Holz&KO AG) is a precision timber construction company headquartered in Brixen/Bressanone, South Tyrol, Italy, founded in 1927 by Leonardo Damiani and currently managed by his grandson Markus Damiani. Following the 2010 merger of Damiani Holzindustrie AG with Zimmerei holz&co under the LignoAlp brand, the company has integrated artisan carpentry with CNC-based prefabrication across two production sites in Brixen and Nova Ponente (the latter a CasaClima A+ timber office building).

The company's offering spans six core service lines: custom single-family and bi-family timber houses, large multi-storey and hybrid timber-concrete buildings (CE-certified up to 6 floors, with hybrid projects up to 18 floors), vertical and horizontal extensions on existing buildings, custom roofing and timber engineering (including long-span beams up to 26 meters), and facades with multiple cladding systems. Production is anchored by the proprietary LignoTherm® diffusion-open building envelope, which integrates walls, roofs, windows, shading, and sills into a single prefabricated, certified system independently monitored by external bodies. Output volume is approximately 80 custom houses and 250 roofs per year, executed by 130 specialist experts.

LignoAlp sells through direct enterprise sales (architect and general-contractor specifications), direct engagement with private clients, and turnkey 'chiavi in mano' delivery covering consultation, design, prefabrication, logistics, and installation. Certifications include ISO 9001/14001/45001 and PEFC chain-of-custody. The customer base spans private homeowners, real-estate developers, commercial/industrial businesses, public institutions, and hospitality; recent flagship enterprise wins include the Zucchetti Village HQ in Lodi, LOVT Munich (Hines/Union Investment), HOKI Living in Holzkirchen, and Saint-Denis Pleyel station in Paris. The company operates six offices in Italy and Germany (Rosenheim/Bad Aibling) with project reach across the Alpine region.
