Fascination for Wood
Decorative hardwood is a niche segment of the overall worldwide wood market. Landcross is the largest producer of decorative sliced wood worldwide and one of the largest producers of sawn hardwood – yet, Landcross processes less than 0.02% of the wood that is harvested for industrial use globally. Landcross believes that wood provides an answer to today’s (and tomorrow’s) challenges and provides many benefits to mankind. Many Landcross employees have a forestry or wood science background and share the fascination for wood that lies at the heart of the company.
Sustainability of our Actions
Landcross produces close to the resource. It operates in the top hardwood regions of the world where sustainable forestry is being practiced. Having grown out of German roots, the company today operates modern production facilities in the Northeastern United States and Central Europe. Landcross manages approximately 18,000 hectares own forests in North America. The company invests in technology and processes to ensure the best use of the valuable hardwood resource and minimize waste. Landcross follows strict due diligence procedures for procurement. Almost all wood processed by Landcross is certified FSC® or PEFC™ or verified by similar programs.
