Dense forests, fertile soils, the natural hydropower of the Brixentaler Ache – the Haslau site has always attracted workers. Smithies, mills and sawmills were established there as early as the 16th century. In 1878, our great-grandfather, Anton Thaler, the founder of the company you see today, acquired the Haslau Mill and Sawmill near Hopfgarten. With that, the seed of our company’s history was sown. And now, almost 150 years later, a modern medium-sized timber company has grown from it – and is in its sixth generation of family management. Like the spruce, fir and larch which we process, we have our roots in the region. We are deeply attached to our trees and the site. The beauty of the mountains, the cycle of nature and the forces of the Alps have left their mark on us too.
