With effect from 1 January 2024, the JAF IMHOLZ site in Leipzig, Germany, will become part of the German Behrens group. Following the divestment of its standalone JAF IMHOLZ GmbH site, the JAF Group is increasingly focusing on its core central and eastern European markets and the international back-to-back business of JAF Global.

It is in this CEE region that the JAF Group is growing successfully due to the acquisition of eleven DLH sites in Poland and Slovakia in autumn 2023 and the opening of new sites in Plowdiw, in Bulgaria, and Niš in Serbia. The JAF Group continues to focus on its import business and the distribution of veneers in the German market.
“We would particularly like to thank our colleagues in Leipzig for their efforts and commitment in the past. We are extremely delighted that the Leipzig site and its workforce will continue to exist as part of the Behrens group,” says JAF General Manager Werner Stix.
The JAF Group, known in Austria as J. u. A Frischeis, is an international timber wholesaler and one of Europe’s leading suppliers of timber and wood-based materials.
