Sales of € 4.19 billion were achieved in 2013 by German sawmills with over 50 employees. Thus, revenues increased by 4.6% compared to 2012, falling short of a marginal 0.8% on 2011-figures.

This sales growth occurred in three exceptionally strong months: July (€ 423 million) and September (€ 386 million) were up 13% each over the previous year's results. But the largest relative increase of 20% to € 225 million was achieved in the unseasonably warm December.
