Admonter operates according to measure. Since 1972.
Wood has been processed in the wooded surroundings of Admont for centuries, including by the Admont Abbey wood industry since 1972. Our natural wood products have made a special name for themselves: Admonter. This name is both an indication of origin and an obligation.
The name Admonter stands for a deep connection with the local forests and nature that has grown over decades. Respectful handling of the valuable raw material is part of our DNA: the wood we use comes from sustainably managed forests.
Our roots in the region and the people are just as strong. The name Admonter guarantees that our natural wood products are manufactured exclusively on site. On the one hand, this ensures the high product quality, but also the well-being and future of our region.
The long-term thinking of the Benedictines is noticeable in every respect. In this way, craft knowledge 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 1,000-year-old Christian social tradition. We preserve them. It accompanies us on the way into the future.
We are aware of our responsibility towards our employees and partners. We maintain an open and honest relationship with them. The focus is on building long-term relationships in which trust and equality are the pillars. Customer satisfaction is our highest goal. Our communication is friendly, efficient and based on mutual respect. Decisions made are also implemented together.
Naturalness and sustainability are prerequisites for the selection of our raw materials from which we produce products of the highest quality.
