Consistent and resource-efficient
Danzer produces sliced flooring lamellas (wear layers) for engineered wood flooring from European, North American and selected African hardwood species. By slicing instead of sawing, valuable raw material is used far more efficiently, reducing waste that traditionally reached up to one third of the tree.
Our proprietary slicer technology produces high-quality veneer flooring lamellas with consistent thickness, appearance and performance. These sliced lamellas can replace sawn lamellas in many applications, offering manufacturers a reliable and cost-effective alternative.
With an industrial focus and access to a global procurement network, Danzer supplies large, consistent volumes as well as smaller project-based quantities. The result: predictable quality, easier purchasing, lower costs and reduced working capital.

Why Danzer as a partner
Industrial expertise
Our approach to the production of lamellas is unique, and one that’s valued by industrial producers of engineered flooring. We leverage our extensive background and expertise as a volume producer of sliced decorative veneer to the production of sliced lamellas, and we have invested significantly in proprietary technology to assure consistent, repeatable processes.
Consistent quality
Product quality and sorting consistency, historically an industry challenge, have been successfully addressed by Danzer. We bring our vast experience in veneer and lumber production to lamella production. We use in-house developed grading technology to assure maximum consistency from one delivery to the next.
Customization options
We support customer-specific requirements, including custom sorted by color and by width.
Secure raw material access
Danzer operates the largest procurement networks for high-quality hardwood logs in North America and Europe. This ensures reliable access to raw material for sliced lamellas, including the ability to support short lead times and project-based requirements.
Manufacturing support
Switching from sawn to sliced lamellas requires deep process knowledge. Danzer works closely with customers to understand specifications, production constraints and procurement needs, and develops supply programs that ensure dependable availability of flooring lamellas.
Business benefits
Higher productivity
Reliable supply, consistent specifications and defined sorting reduces complexity in purchasing and production planning. This helps manufacturers improve throughput and meet delivery commitments more consistently.
Increased flexibility
In the highly competitive engineered-flooring industry, it’s increasingly advantageous to source smaller batches of specific products to meet the needs of niche markets. Because of our vast procurement network and efficient processes, Danzer customers can readily and economically meet growing demand for specialized sliced lamellas.
Reduced working capital
Precise deliveries and dependable availability reduce the need for excess inventory, safety stock and byproduct storage—lowering working capital requirements for flooring manufacturers.
