THE STORY BEHIND OUR COVER PHOTO The Hexentanzplatz (witches´ dancing place) at the summit cable car station in Thale is a tourist magnet. The panoramic view of the Harz, with views of the Brocken and Wurmberg mountains, is unique. This special corner of the world now offers yet another attraction: A megawood® sun deck with loungers invites you to take a break and relax.The deck was built using boards from our DELTA series, which are manufactured from our new...

The only thing that still needed to be clarified was the question of the models: Who would be able to authentically represent megawood® as a brand and convey our values in a credible and emotional way? As is so often the case, not only was the good close at hand, but also the answer. After the CEO Holger Sasse had a spontaneous idea of casting the models from the staff, he immediately started putting this into reality, first asking Kathleen Jorde, his longtime employee and Head of Accounting if she and her family could imagine becoming the faces of the magazine. Kathleen Jorde did not have to...

OUT OF RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. For me, sustainability is explicitly something that will not be detrimental to future generations. I started developing our innovative wood-based GCC material back in 2005. My vision was to use chips from the regional planing and sawing industry to produce a polymer-bound material with the highest possible wood content. From the very beginning, the material was designed so that it meets all the requirements for a healthy wood-based material in order to enable a consistent circular economy and climateneutral production. That is a...

Tested Quality Produced in Germany. OUR PRODUCTS MEET THE HIGHEST STANDARDS. We place great value on good quality and only want to place products on the market that meet our criteria. Various seals of quality confirm our quality and our products are tested regularly. We are especially proud of the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold Standard that was awarded to our wood material, which not only certifies the material health and recyclability of the products, but also that we fulfil our responsibility to society. In addition, the PEFC certificate confirms that the wood fibres we use come from...

AT OUR COMPANY, EVERYTHING IS MANUFACTURED IN-HOUSE. We believe that we are best when we do it ourselves. From substructure systems and assembly accessories to extrusion dies and the progressive dies used for punched parts, we manufacture everything in-house at our factory in Aschersleben. With extensive know-how and a spirit of innovation, we develop them ourselves exactly according to our requirements and produce exactly the products that realise our ideas. If necessary, we adjust machines and parameters until we are completely satisfied with the result. THE PROVEN PROPERTIES OF OUR...

No trees are cut down for our products. THE RESPONSIBLE HANDLING OF RESOURCES IS PART OF OUR PHILOSOPHY. Good Reasons for megawood® – Tested Quality made in Germany

CLIMATE POSITIVE – WE USE WHAT ALREADY EXISTS We only produce our GCC material using wood fibres obtained from waste wood from the planing and sawing industry. The wood for this comes from sustainably managed and PEFCcertified European forests – and we place great importance on this. The wood fibres that are declared as waste are usually burned. The carbon bound in this wood is then released into the atmosphere as CO2. We use the chips as the basis for our products instead and ensure the carbon is permanently stored in our material by reusing it in the material cycle. Another source of raw...

A good idea, a unique material, two characters. From the raw material to the product in just one manufacturing process: At our site in Aschersleben, we have the largest and most modern production capacities for the extrusion of wood-polymer materials in Europe. In a patented production process, we mix a high proportion of natural fibres with the other components and press the hot mixture at high pressure through extrusion dies.

GCC (German Compact Composite) is a wood-based material that contains up to 75% natural fibres in the basic recipe when absolutely dry – a high percentage that is unrivalled worldwide. The wood fibre is therefore the heart of the material! This is supplemented by high-performance polymers made of recycled plastic from first-use industrial applications. Our principle: In addition to wood, we only use as many additives as absolutely necessary and ensure that each of them contributes to the material’s health and recyclability. In some of our products, we replace part of the material recipe with...

Wood is good and we make it even better. GCC HOLZart has all the good properties of the natural material, radiates just as much heat, and can be processed in exactly the same way. Due to the added polymers and the patented extrusion process, the original softwood is turned into a solid, more durable wood-based material that withstands the high mechanical demands of outdoor use and forms the basis for sustainable construction that spans generations. contains up to 75% wood fibres from sustainably managed forests smells and feels like wood planed and brushed surface harder and heavier than...

THE WELL-KNOWN WOOD-LIKE CHARACTER WITH A WOOD CONTENT OF UP TO 75%. Looks like wood, feels like wood, smells like wood but is not wood. Products made from GCC HOLZart combine the popular properties of wood with the knowledge gained from modern polymer research. The special composition preserves the look, feel, and smell of the natural material, but the substances added eliminate the need for time-consuming maintenance such as regular oiling or painting. Decking boards made of this material are resistant, permanently beautiful, long-lasting, and simply feel good – and achieve this without...
