Heitz: The leader in veneer edging

The name Heitz epitomizes veneer edging quality that sets standards in the international market. It all began in 1975, with the production of real wood veneer edging. Unique products have solidified our reputation since then.

As a trendsetter of innovation, we cover the entire range of real wood and industrial veneer edgings, thick veneer edgings and wrapping and soft-forming veneers. By using state-of-the-art technologies, we are significantly improving the efficiency of the veneer edging production and have established ourselves as one of the leading trendsetters and partners in the wood working industry, the specialist trade and the skilled trade industry.

The Heitz-Group is a subsidiary of INDUS Holding AG.
