Traditional long established Company

Over 70 years ago the well-established and family-run company Deutsche Holzveredelung was founded by the brothers Alfons & Ewald Schmeing. Today the Deutsche Holzveredelung is running in third generation by Dipl. Ing. Marc Schmeing and Dipl. Ing. Christian Schmeing.

In the mid of the thirties they started with the production of compressed laminated wood. Over the years the production of compressed laminated wood was developed. High-quality red beech veneers are coated or impregnated with a special phenolic resin and are pressed under high pressure. Today the compressed laminated wood is sold under the brand name "dehonit^®" worldwide. Today dehonit^® stands for a wide delivery programme consisting of high-quality semi-finished products, finished parts and solutions to our customers requirements.

The Deutsche Holzveredelung produced technical plastic made of polyethylene and propylene under the brand name "dehoplast^®" over 30 years, until September 2006. Since 1st October 2006 dehoplast^® is part of the SIMONA AG. The main reason for the sales of dehoplast^® was the fast-growing market for compressed laminated wood.
In the future the Deutsche Holzveredelung is going to concentrate only on the wooden market.

Today dehonit® compressed laminated wood has two production facilities, the head office in Kirchhundem (Germany) and in Sokolov (Czech Republic). They are supported by their subsidiaries and partners worldwide.
