Global Timber A/S is a well-established and independent, Danish-owned supplier of hardwood.
Founded in 2006, the company emerged from Internationalt Hårdttræ, a timber company whose roots go back to the 1970s. In 1972, Lars Munch Christensen, a well-known figure in the timber industry, founded Internationalt Hårdttræ in Hovedgård, near Aarhus. Global Timber’s two founders Kasper Fredsted and Peter Bæk, were both apprentices at Internationalt Hårdttræ. Anders Bitzer and Søren Vinther joined Global Timber as partners at a later stage. Global Timber’s partners saw the potential in the market for a globally oriented company.
The management operates and develops the enterprise, based on a respected business model that includes ethics and the development and maintenance of trade relationships.
