Admonter manages to measure. Since 1972.
Wood has been processed in the densely wooded surroundings of Admont for centuries, and since 1972, the wood industry of Admont Abbey has also been involved. Our natural wood products have earned a special name for themselves: Admonter. This name is both an indication of origin and a commitment.
Our roots in the region and its people are just as strong. The name Admonter guarantees that our natural wood products are manufactured exclusively on-site. This ensures high product quality and the well-being and future of our region.
The Benedictines’ long-term thinking is evident in every respect. The craftsmanship that has grown over generations is passed on and kept alive. At the same time, we pay attention to the requirements of our time, such as renewable energy, generating our own electricity, and much more.
We are proud of our 1000-year-old Christian-social tradition, which we diligently preserve as we progress into the modern age. Our responsibility towards our employees and partners is a cornerstone of our operations, fostering open and honest relationships. We prioritize building long-term relationships based on trust and equality with our business partners. However, our ultimate goal is to ensure customer satisfaction, which we strive for in every interaction. Our communication style is friendly, efficient, and always based on mutual respect.
Decisions made are also implemented together. Naturalness and sustainability are prerequisites for selecting our raw materials, from which we manufacture products of the highest quality.
Wood has been processed in the region since 1074.
