Wooden packaging from the Harz since 1994
Since 1994, Ziesenhenne Holzbau und Holzhandel GmbH has manufactured made-to-measure wooden packaging in Benneckenstein in the Harz region. The product range includes two-way and four-way pallets, special pallets made to customer drawings, IPPC-compliant export crates, as well as open or closed crates and wooden frames for storage, bundling and presentation. Production runs from one-off pieces to series, in a craft-oriented production operation with its own production hall and its own sawmill. Materials used include fresh or IPPC-treated softwood sawn timber, dried wood, and hardboard and OSB panels for crates. Spacious company premises offer storage capacity for pre-production of larger quantities; deliveries are made with the company's own truck with trailer. Since 2025, the company has been part of the EVS Group and thus of the ARCA Group.
