What we stand for

You want to integrate timber into your building.
Then we're your partner.

LIGNA systems is a system supplier of timber frame structures for industrial and commercial building construction: an engineering office with its own production that plans, manufactures, delivers and installs in Europe and North America. How much of that you call on is up to you: from the kit alone to a fully assembled structure.

All from a single source

From planning to assembly

One contact, one process, one responsibility.

International

One system. Two continents. One structural logic.

We design and deliver across Europe, from the Benelux region through Germany, Denmark, Austria and Switzerland to France and Portugal, and likewise across North America in Canada, Mexico and the United States. The same system, engineered to the codes and the building requirements of each market.

Europe

Eurocode & European practice

Structural design and fire protection to European codes, established with structural engineers and design checkers in the market.

North America

USA · Canada · Mexico

Different load assumptions, different fire protection, different building codes. Snow, seismic and local standards feed into the on-site verification.

Sustainability

Timber buildings, planned economically and sustainably

Planning happens in our own engineering office, with a system: for every project we choose the structure that carries with the least material, from solid-timber beams to truss girders for long spans. The timber we install stores biogenic carbon for the life of the building. And on the production footprint your project is scored on under EPD, EC3 and LEED v5, mass timber counts as a low-carbon material. Two different measures, both working for you.

Stored carbon
biogenic carbon, held in the structure for the life of the building
100 % FSC
timber from responsibly managed forests
Every board foot counts
we buy our timber, so we plan economically
Offcuts heat
what's left after cutting, we use ourselves
