What crosslam brasil does

Crosslam Brasil is a privately held Brazilian engineered-timber manufacturer and construction services provider headquartered in Suzano, São Paulo. Founded in 2008 by engineer José Roberto Corrêa, the company produces CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) panels, MLC (Glulam) beams and columns, and hybrid structural systems that combine wood with steel and concrete, and delivers an integrated stack of structural engineering, digital fabrication, and on-site assembly services. Operations are built around a 5-axis CNC portal and a Kuka robot on a 7th axis, enabling direct BIM-to-fabrication workflows and DFMA-aligned production of pre-machined, dimensionally precise components.

The company serves B2B customers across corporate, institutional, logistics, residential, sports, and infrastructure segments, generating revenue through one-off project contracts for design, manufacture, and assembly. Named enterprise clients include Henkel (Inspiration Center, Jundiaí-SP), Grupo Monto and Brookfield Properties (logistics parks), Red Bull Bragantino (training centre), Dengo (Faria Lima concept store), and Aurora 275 (six-story residential in Suzano). Crosslam holds FSC (FSC-C165661) and EcoVadis sustainability certifications and is a member of GBC Brasil. As Brazil's pioneer CLT manufacturer since 2012, it has delivered over 300 projects cumulatively and is investing R$50 million in a second factory in Salesópolis (SP) that opened in 2025, with 12 projects expected for the year.

Core offering

Crosslam Brasil designs, manufactures, and assembles engineered timber structural solutions—including Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels, Glued-Laminated Timber (MLC/Glulam) beams and columns, and hybrid wood-steel-concrete components—for commercial, residential, institutional, logistics, and infrastructure construction projects. The company provides a complete service scope covering structural engineering, digital CNC/robotic fabrication at its Suzano factory, and on-site assembly.

Product overview

Crosslam Brasil is a pioneer in engineered wood construction in Brazil, offering a portfolio of three core product lines — CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) panels, MLC (Madeira Lamelada Colada / Glulam) beams and columns, and hybrid structural components combining wood with steel and concrete — alongside three service pillars: structural project engineering (including BIM-based 4D planning), digital fabrication using 5-axis CNC and 7-axis Kuka robotic systems at its Suzano (SP) factory, and on-site assembly by specialized teams. The company positions itself as a complete engineering solutions provider, delivering projects from concept through execution.

Products and services

• CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) Panels Cross-laminated timber panels composed of multiple layers of solid wood lamellas bonded perpendicularly, providing bidirectional load distribution for use as walls, floor slabs, and roof panels. Dimensions and installation holes are precision-machined on CNC for BIM-compatible, DFMA-aligned delivery. Intended for construction companies, developers, architects, and structural engineers building commercial, residential, institutional, and logistics projects.
• MLC (Madeira Lamelada Colada / Glulam) Beams and Columns Glued-laminated timber produced by bonding two or more parallel wood lamellas into linear structural elements such as columns and beams, combining natural wood aesthetics with high structural strength and durability. Intended for use as primary structural members in commercial, institutional, residential, and infrastructure projects.
• Hybrid Structural Systems (Wood + Steel + Concrete) Hybrid structural systems combining engineered wood (CLT or MLC) with steel and/or concrete, including Pi slabs (wood beams with thin concrete topping) and fully hybrid building structures. The hybrid approach optimizes structural performance by leveraging wood in tension and concrete in compression, targeting large-span commercial, logistics, and multi-story residential projects.
• Structural Engineering Project Services (Projeto) Full structural engineering support for engineered timber and hybrid buildings, including feasibility studies, preliminary structural sizing, executive detailing of metal connections, machining coordination for installations, fabrication drawings, assembly planning, rigging plans, and 4D logistics planning in BIM. Provided to construction companies, architects, engineers, and developers.
• Digital Fabrication (Fabricação) CNC and robotic manufacturing of engineered wood structures using a 5-axis CNC portal and a Kuka robot on a 7th axis, enabling direct digital-to-fabrication transfer from BIM models. Performed at the Suzano, SP factory; components are produced to exact dimensions with pre-machined holes for installations.
• On-site Assembly (Montagem) On-site assembly of engineered wood and hybrid structures by specialized mounting teams. Components arrive at the construction site pre-machined and pre-finished with exact dimensions and pre-installed metallic connectors, enabling fast, precise assembly with minimal waste, reduced labor, and completed structures in days rather than weeks.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• HenkelcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 April 2024Strategic partnership for the Henkel Inspiration Center in Jundiaí-SP, Brazil's first corporate building with engineered wood structure. Crosslam supplies engineered wood (MLC, CLT, hybrid Pi slabs) while Henkel provides structural adhesives (Loctite Pro Bond HBX). The project features glued structural connections instead of mechanical fasteners, combining MLC structural columns and beams, CLT panels, and hybrid Pi slabs. This is the first Brazilian project where the hybrid Pi slab system was studied, tested, and applied.
• USP São Carlos (Universidade de São Paulo)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2024Rigorous testing and prototyping of hybrid Pi slab technology conducted at USP São Carlos Structural Laboratories, ensuring performance of the hybrid wood-concrete element. This testing was essential for validating the first application of Pi slabs in Brazil at the Henkel project.
