PUKANIĆ SAWMILL
It all began back in 1967 when the small sawmill was opened to fullfill the needs of local population.
Today we own 15 wood drying kilns with total capacity 1000m3 in a work cycle and we employ around 60 workers at the moment.
The expension of production was the reason why we planned and built a new commercial-manufacturing facility back in 2012. 1750 m2 square size for manufacturing massive edge glued panels, 250m2. square size for manufacturing briquetts.
We produce more than 3000m3 finger joint panels and one ply laminated panels per year app 70% of which are oak panels and 30% are beech panels.
