From small saw mills to one of the most significant players in the European timber industry: The foundation stone for the successful development of the Pfeifer Group was set in the Tyrolean location of Imst, where nowadays the main site is still located.

1948
The foundation year

The company founder Barbara Pfeifer puts in 1948 a custom cutting saw mill in service. During that time – and in a sector that was thoroughly dominated by men – it was a unique act of self-determination.

What followed in the following decades was a business life performance together with Barbara Pfeifer’s children Oskar, Fritz and Bernhard. Out of the family pioneer spirit one of the larger and leading companies of the European timber industry developed.

1971
The change begins

From saw mill to finishing: The brothers Oskar and Fritz walk for the first time along the path of sawn timber finishing. The value chain from round wood goes beyond the sole custom cutting activity. The production of shuttering panels in Imst starts.

1985
Extended product range

The next step to expand the product range - the production of single and three-ply panels begins.

1988
The first glue-laminated timber factory

Pfeifer established the first glue-laminated timber factory of the Pfeifer Group.

Technical highest performance

First energy product 

In the framework of a closed added value cycle and optimal use of resources, Pfeifer starts to produce timber pellets out of the rests of sawdust in Imst.
