Sawmill processing
Cutting logs to size, sawn wood production, drying and special treatments
We are ready to satisfy every request
The ILT sawmill department can count on a large log yard, where raw materials of every type pass through– logs of fir, pine and larch coming from high mountain forests managed in a sustainable way -, a modern plant for reducing stocks, removing barks, measuring, notching and sorting and a very high operational flexibility to meet every client's need in extremely short times, thanks to the continuous supply of wood.
We produce wood boards for industrial, construction and carpentry use, beams and prismatic beams up to
13.50 meters in length, boards divided into centimetres of various thicknesses, dried and HT treated material on request in compliance with the necessary certifications, with particular predisposition to perform order based works, even complex ones.

Wood products for the construction industry
ILT is a reference point for the supply of wood for the construction industry: boards, brackets, beams, prismatic beams, planed wood, of different sizes and with cut to size according to the client’s specifications, dried or with EC conformity marking if required, and any type of semi-finished product for constructions (from scaffolding to wooden structures for construction sites).
Thanks to the long experience gained in serving the most particular needs of construction companies and the latest generation machinery to perform multiple processes and treatments, we guarantee certified quality products for structural use and a prompt service for the consultation and assistance of each client.
Semi-finished products for industrial packaging and pallets
The production of semi-finished products for wooden packaging is one of the areas in which ILT has been mainly operating for a very long time and for which it is equipped with advanced technical skills and tools. We produce sawn wood for industrial packaging and pallets from quality PEFC certified wood.
Our specialist know-how is available to those who work in the design, assembly and supply of oversized packaging for the transport of special goods, with large dimensions and a complex structure.
Secondary processing and semi-finished products
The ILT sawmill department is specialized in the production of semi-finished wood elements of various types, to be used in many industrial sectors: straight and shaped elements, raw or planed, stripped, dried semi-finished products, drilled, milled and any type of product resulting from the first processing of wood, with wide possibilities of customizing shapes and sizes.
Thanks to the availability of specific equipment, we are also able to carry out various types of ancillary processing on request, from brushing to the FAO-certified HT heat treatment.
Round and sawn wood
ILT has production lines of round, planed, conical and cylindrical beams, square cut beams Fiume and Trieste and other products deriving from the processing of spruce, silver fir, larch and scots pine logs, with a maximum length of 13 meters and diameters between 10 and 40 cm.
Square, half-round and round beams– with the possibility of shaping, painting, autoclave impregnation, head rounding, production of support surfaces in variable number and cuts to size – are intended for multiple fields of application and are used for wood carpentry (roofs and log houses ), fences, palisades, scaffoldings, reinforcement, consolidation and bioengineering.
Thanks to the planing machines we can produce conical planed round beams and trusses up to 13 metres in length and 40 cm in diameter preserving a limited natural conicity (<= 5 mm per linear metre). This particular type of processing affects the fibres only at the surface level and does not change the mechanical strength of the trunk.
Through our planing machine for round beams we manage to produce cylindrical round beams that
preserve their diameter along the axis of the trunk.
The square-cut beams Fiume are obtained by squaring the debarked trunk with parallel planes over the entire length, or by first planing the trunk and then squaring all four sides.
The square- cut Fiume truss, made of fir, pine and larch, is increasingly in demand and used in wood construction, roofing and structural restorations , and maintains the elasticity and strength characteristics of the logs used as raw material.
The square-cut beams Trieste obtained by the mechanical squaring of the trunks, following the conicity of the trunk and therefore with non-parallel planes, are produced by ILT to be used in carpentry, and reach a maximum length of 13 metres.
Squared beams for carpentry are requested a lot for the construction of roofs and structures capable of preserving, transmitting or recreating the atmosphere of the rustic or mountain style.
In addition to being used in carpentry, square-cut beams Trieste represent an excellent solution as a support for scaffolding and reinforcement, with an excellent quality-price ratio and high mechanical resistance: the squaring operation of the trunk only marginally affects the fibres of the wood, without altering its characteristics.
ILT produces squared logs with 10 × 10 cm, 12 × 12 cm and 14 × 14 cm sections, which represent the dimensions of square-cut beams Trieste mostly used for reinforcing, but it’s able to adapt lengths and sections to the specific requests of the clients by making custom-made beams.
Biomasses and waste
Wood is a 100% raw material capable of being generated again and it does not produce any waste. Also the waste generated during the processing is recovered and reused for the production of clean energy, giving life to a virtuous circle that embraces the entire production cycle.
Every year ILT obtains more than 40,000 m3 of sawdust, chips, shavings and bark from the transformation of wood which are destined for sale to livestock companies, paper mills, horticulturalists, for the production of chipboard panels in specialized factories, for the power supply of biomass plants or, as in the case of wood chips, supplied exclusively to companies by virtue of specific commercial agreements.
Being a green company means avoiding waste and reducing consumption: we do so too.
