A modern organization
Danzer’s organization blends the advantages of a family-oriented business with the professional management approach of larger corporations. We rely on the know-how and experience of our people, many working for Danzer for decades. We also bring professional tools, numbers and modern management practices to the hardwood industry. Our systems, our strategy and implementation orientation are based on practices applied by much larger organizations. Danzer’s management is controlled by a Supervisory Board of independent professionals with different backgrounds.
Danzer is owned by a foundation, the Karl Danzer Stiftung. Karl Danzer, the company’s founder, established this structure to ensure the long-term survival of the Danzer companies and to protect the company from fragmentation by generational succession. By this Karl Danzer intended to keep the interest of the companies and the employees paramount; thus separating the company and family assets completely.
Danzer is organized by business units around products and regions. Each business unit has control over its day-to-day operations from procurement and production to sales and marketing. The business unit heads are part of Danzer’s Executive Board where they coordinate their efforts. All business units report to Danzer AG that provides the overall strategy to the organization, sets global standards, defines policies and coordinates implementation among the business units.
