The challenges of the saw and wood industry: A look at the future
The saw and wood industry in Germany faces significant challenges that affect not only companies but also the entire economy. On September 17, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., the German Saw and Wood Industry Bundesverband (DESH) will hold a press conference in which the results of a comprehensive survey on the current economic conditions will be presented. This survey showed that over 100 member companies in the industry are affected. The press conference takes place online via teams and offers the opportunity to find out more about business perspectives and solutions.
In recent years, the situation in the construction sector has further tightened. This crisis has far-reaching effects on the saw and wood industry, which has to deal with difficulties such as increased bureaucracy through measures such as the EU renovation regulations. This regulation pursues the goal of stopping the illegal wooden harvest trade, but it also leads to additional burdens for many companies that have to adapt to the new regulations.
During this time of uncertainty, it is particularly important to recognize what role wood plays as a renewable raw material for the future business location of Germany. Wood is not only essential for climate protection, but also an important factor for creating jobs and generation of added value in society. The results of the survey show that the challenges in the industry are also a sign of necessary changes and adjustments."How can we achieve an economic departure with wood and what framework conditions are necessary?" These questions will be carried out during the press conference of Dr. Stephan Lang, the President of the DESH, and the management, represented by Lars Schmidt and Julia Möbus.
The meaning of this meeting should not be underestimated. The discussion about the economic situation and the future of the saw and wood industry is of explosiveness for many players in the industry and society. The DESH has been committed to the concerns of the saw and wood industry on different political levels for more than 125 years and has the task of being the voice of the industry.
For those interested, there is the possibility to register on the association's website and to take part in the discussion about the integration of sustainable practices into the saw and wood industry. An intensive examination of these topics is essential to secure the future of the industry and the economic framework in Germany.
