Ligna Construct GmbH

Ligna Construct GmbH is a timber construction company based in St. Pankraz in the Ultental valley of South Tyrol, Italy. Its roots go back to 1894, when Peter Schweigl, the great-grandfather of the current owner, founded the Schweigl sawmill in the Ultental near Meran. The company has remained in family hands through several generations and today operates under the leadership of Konrad Schweigl. Drawing on more than 125 years of experience with wood as a raw material, Ligna Construct combines traditional craftsmanship with modern production facilities to create sustainable wooden houses and prefabricated timber elements. The company's product range focuses on sustainable timber construction. Its flagship offerings include the "Lebens(t)raum Holzhaus" line of wooden houses designed for well-being, the "bio-xlam" glue-free solid wood wall system, and a broader portfolio of products for constructive timber engineering. Ligna Construct emphasizes the use of locally sourced wood from the Ultental region, reflecting a commitment to sustainability, long-term thinking, and responsible use of resources. Ligna Construct operates primarily in the South Tyrolean and broader Italian market, serving customers seeking ecological and high-quality timber buildings. The company presents itself as a family business rooted in tradition yet forward-looking, having made early investments in production technology for sustainable timber construction. Its headquarters and production site are located at Tusengrabl 23, I-39010 St. Pankraz, Italy. The company is privately held and remains under the ownership of the Schweigl family.

The history of Ligna Construct GmbH begins in 1894, when Peter Schweigl, the great-grandfather of the current owner, founded the Schweigl sawmill in the Ultental valley in South Tyrol, near Meran. The Ultental was already known for its high-quality wood processing, and the sawmill established its roots over the second and third generations of the family. For more than 125 years, the company has worked with wood as a raw material, and early on it made forward-looking decisions and investments in the production of products for sustainable timber construction. Today, more than 130 years later, following the takeover by Konrad Schweigl, the company has set the course for sustainable wooden house construction and made the necessary investments. Reliability, long-term thinking, and responsible use of resources characterize its actions. Combining tradition, state-of-the-art production facilities, and qualified employees, Ligna Construct produces high-quality wooden houses and timber house elements for sustainable living spaces with a future. The company is headquartered at Tusengrabl 23, I-39010 St. Pankraz, Italy, and operates under VAT number IT00144690211.
