Pfeifer as an employer

Family run employer or global player?
Pfeifer is both.

Pfeifer is one of the longest-established companies in the European timber industry. We have shared a passion for wood since 1948. This is expressed in our slogan “Passion for timber”. Our 2,600 employees share this passion and form the foundation of our success.
