Admonter manages to measure. Since 1972.
Wood has been processed in the densely wooded surroundings of Admont for centuries, since 1972 also by the wood industry of Admont Abbey. Our natural wood products have made a special name for themselves: Admonter. This name is both an indication of origin and a commitment.
The name Admonter stands for a deep connection with the local forests and nature that has grown over the decades. The respectful handling of this valuable raw material is part of our DNA: the wood we process comes from sustainably managed forests.
Our roots in the region and its people are just as strong. The name Admonter guarantees that our natural wood products are manufactured exclusively on site. This not only ensures high product quality, but also the well-being and future of our region.
The long-term thinking of the Benedictines is evident in every respect. Craftsmanship that has grown over generations is passed on and kept alive. At the same time, we pay attention to the requirements of our time, such as renewable energy, generating our own electricity and much more.
We are proud of our 1000-year-old Christian-social tradition. We preserve it. It accompanies us on our path into the future.
We are aware of our responsibility towards our employees and partners. We maintain an open and honest relationship with them. We focus on building long-term relationships based on trust and equality. Customer satisfaction is our ultimate goal. Our communication is friendly, efficient and based on mutual respect. Decisions made are also implemented together, and naturalness and sustainability are prerequisites for the selection of our raw materials, from which we create products of the highest quality. *** Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ***
