Our History

Schollmayer Holz GmbH: Tradition and Innovation Since 1853

Schollmayer Holz GmbH is a family-owned company in its sixth generation, specializing in the processing of high-quality wood products. With around 40 employees, we process approximately 30,000 cubic meters of wood annually on a 5,000-square-meter production site in Ginsheim-Gustavsburg. Our core expertise lies in manufacturing toe boards and wooden floors for system scaffolding.

Sustainability is an integral part of our philosophy: since 2020, we have been actively committed to climate protection and generate 720,000 kWh of electricity annually through our own photovoltaic system. Thanks to our modern production, digitalization and a strong team, we offer our customers fast and customized solutions. With this expertise, we are your reliable partner for high-quality wood products from PEFC-certified forestry.
