Shipping Clerk

The European market leader in solid wood products and innovative construction solutions

About Our Company

In 1957, Franz Binder, sr. founded the since then existing independent family business binderholz as a small “one-gate sawmill” in Fügen in Zillertal of Tyrol. What began sixty years ago, initially in the timber trade, has now evolved beyond the saw mill to encompass a much more comprehensive wood processing operation. New standards are continuously being implemented in the domain of engineering, product innovation and architectural design. Meanwhile the third generation of the Binder family retains overall management of the company and furthermore maintains their predecessors’ original inspiration for the product.

The binderholz group has become one of the biggest solid timber producing companies in Europe. Both in the treatment and in the processing of the quite essential raw material wood, and with regard to our present and future employees, we are centrally oriented on the concept of sustainability.

A passion for wood and commitment to the business are the foundation of Binder's philosophy. A passion for wood and an entrepreneurial commitment is the ethos of the binderholz Company. Thereby is ensured that the name of binderholz shall forever remain what it symbolizes today: that is the byword for the highest quality wood. Franz Binder senior turned his passion for wood into a profession during the 1950s. This passion is already being experienced by the third generation of the Binder family.

In 2020 we have acquired our new US production sites Binderholz Enfield LLC. & Binderholz Live Oak LLC. in Florida, developing our US organization and market presence to a larger scale step by step. We have been importing various mass timber products to the US & Canada for years, but with our own US sales entity in Atlanta, GA and our new production sites in Enfield, NC & Live Oak, FL we are heading to meet the growing demand of saw timber and massive wood products through regionally sourced and produced binderholz products in America.

Come join our growing team at Binderholz as our Shipping Clerk! We offer competitive wages along with our full benefits package.

We look forward to considering you as part of our team at Binderholz.
