By standard qualification, beech is a medium hardwood. It can grow up to 40 m with an average trunk width of 1 m. More advanced techniques of heat treatment of beech, such as steaming, give tree a wide application. In this way, we create a product that is suitable for precise processing. The specific weight of heat-treated, dried beech is between 850 kg / m2 and 1100 kg / m2. Our final products are used in the production of furniture, parquet and construction. After sizing at the sawmill, the highest quality beech wood, goes through the steaming process, where the boards get a darker or red color. The capacity of the Mintero steam room is 600 cubic meters per month.

After steaming, they are transferred to a dryer where they are dried, depending on market requirements and use, up to 8-14% moisture. The capacity of the dryer follows the capacity of the steam room, which amounts to 600 cubic meters per month. After the drying process, the packages are transferred to the packaging halls, where they are sorted by length and quality. Packages are stored in warehouses for finished products. In addition to processing, Mintero has an enviable warehouse capacity and transport mechanization with which the finished product is delivered to the final destination.
