Stora Enso’s Bad St. Leonhard, Austria, Mill Produces Over One Million Cubic Meters of CLT
Stora Enso announced that its Bad St. Leonhard, Austria, mill has surpassed 1 million m3 of cross-laminated timber (CLT) production as of October, marking the first Stora Enso site to reach the milestone. The achievement reflects years of investment, innovation, and teamwork in advancing sustainable, engineered wood construction.
Mill Director Martine Nistelberger said, “Reaching 1 million m3 of CLT is not just about numbers. It’s a story of continuous improvement, close collaboration, and the dedication of our entire team.”
With a maximum annual capacity of about 80,000 m3, the mill has steadily improved efficiency and quality through training, process upgrades, and innovation.
CLT Production Manager Markus Baumgartner said, “We’ve improved production step by step—by developing our people, upgrading equipment, and learning from experience. The strong link between production and sales has been key. It helps us understand customer needs and respond quickly with the right solutions.”
Looking ahead, the Bad St. Leonhard team plans continued investment in equipment, product development, and material optimization to sustain growth and innovation.
