Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an innovative engineered timber product that has gained prominence in the global market. Initially developed in Germany and Austria, CLT has the potential to revolutionize building construction, offering efficiency, sustainability, and innovative design.

CLT panels are composed of multiple layers of solid wood lamellas glued together in opposite directions, providing strength and structural stability. Furthermore, dimensional accuracy during manufacturing is ensured through processing by a powerful CNC gantry, facilitating compatibility with BIM projects, using the DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) approach.
