History of the company
At the beginning of the last century the company Schmidt in Schönstadt/Hesse, close to Marburg, was founded by Kaspar Schmidt. In the midst of contiguous, deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests the optimal conditions for a sawmill existed.
1960 Helmut Schmidt sr. moved the company he took over from his father, out of the heart of town to its present location.
With vision, hard work and dedication one of the most modern and efficient timber processing family businesses in Germany was created, and in its third generation is now lead by Helmut Schmidt jr.
Today, a team of nearly 120 qualified employees create innovative and ecologically valuable wood products.
