Gotthard had inherited from his dad, who was a Forest Director, the invaluable experience in forestry and with wood working, first as his pastime and later on as his profession.
Complementary further education in wood commerce with emphasis on import and export made Gotthard become a qualified “Holzkaufmann“ (lumber merchant).
His profound wood trading experience over the years, combined with hands-on saw-milling activity as well as his residence stays in West-Africa and visits to Asian markets made Gotthard gain immense knowledge which he is happy to share with clients. As a self-employed consultant and provider of services to The Company, Gotthard is always pleased to consult customers reliably and professionally in his usual friendly way.
