Craftsmanship with precision and passion<\/h2>\n

The story of the family business begins in 1831 with the founding of a veneer sawmill and a woodturning shop in Weiz. Weitzer Parkett exported to Hungary back in the 19th century. A major step in the development of the long-established Styrian company was the switch from wood pulp production to parquet production in the mid-1950s. In 1955, parquet production began. It hit the ground running thanks to the prior knowledge of the importance of precise drying and the special sensitivity to the natural material wood. No two pieces of wood are the same. A further milestone in the company\u2019s development was the move into the staircase sector in 1985. Since adopting the 3-layer parquet production technique, Weitzer Parkett has been able to offer the entire parquet range from a single source. In May 2007, Weitzer Parkett was voted the \u201cBest Family Business\u201d of the year, putting it ahead of around 240,000 Austrian family businesses. Dr. Nicola Weitzer, Mag. Alexandra Decker-Weitzer and Wilfried Weitzer are successfully continuing the traditional business as a family business in the seventh generation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
