Building sustainability together.

Building sustainability together.

Penzkofer Bau GmbH, a longstanding construction company from the Bavarian Forest, aims to make timber construction even more sustainable through its Woodbloc® brand. In a nearly 6,000 m² facility, solid wood walls and ceilings made entirely from untreated wood are being produced with an automated, eco-conscious approach—developed in collaboration with the Munich Consulting Group.

At a glance.

The challenge

To produce sustainable solid wood walls and ceilings through a largely automated process, aligning environmental responsibility with maximum efficiency.

Collaborative solution

In partnership with Penzkofer GmbH, we established a robust data foundation and conducted targeted workshops. Using cutting-edge technology and selecting ideal partners, we efficiently optimized system alignment and site dimensions.

Achievement

An automated production line that upholds the highest quality standards. This pioneering sustainability concept powers the entire facility with energy sourced from wood offcuts—marking a significant step toward even greater sustainability for the company.

The challenge

With Woodbloc®, Penzkofer Bau GmbH has set itself the ambitious goal of developing a completely new, automated production line for sustainable solid wood walls and ceilings. This task is particularly challenging, as there are only a few comparable products on the market. The goal: a production process that combines maximum efficiency and environmental sustainability and thus redefines the future of timber construction.

Efficient or sustainable? Both.

Collaborative solution

We provided comprehensive support to Penzkofer Bau, from the initial concept through to the implementation of their production facility. Together, we established a robust data foundation to optimize site dimensions. Through targeted workshops and advanced technology, we developed innovative concepts for automation and logistics, identified top partners, and efficiently aligned the systems. This approach enabled Penzkofer Bau GmbH to establish a sustainable production process that meets the highest standards of quality.

From tree to building - together.

We manufacture extremely sustainable products. That is why we also emphasize sustainability in production. Here we received excellent advice from the Munich Consulting Group.

This approach has allowed Penzkofer Bau GmbH to uphold the highest quality standards while future-proofing its production processes. The success of this project is a powerful testament to how equal partnership and technological expertise can drive exceptional outcomes.
