The Behrens-Group is one of the leading distributors of timber products in Germany. With more than 900 employees – including around 60 apprentices – and 13 branches across the country, Behrens represents a strategic point of reference for both merchants and craftsmen.

Founded in 1990 from the entrepreneurial vision of Klaus Behrens and Gernot Wöhlk, the group was established through the integration of the administrative and operational activities of their respective companies in Bautzen and Rotenburg. Following this initial phase of synergy, Behrens expanded its reach by incorporating additional sales and warehouse stores in strategic regions of northern and eastern Germany, offering strategic territorial coverage while maintaining centralised management through its main headquarters in Rotenburg (Wümme), the headquarters since 1918.

These development years also marked the beginning of the collaboration with Panguaneta, already recognised as a leader in the production of an extensive and diversified plywood range.

Over the years, the Behrens-Group has continued to expand its distribution network and invest in logistics, ensuring timely and efficient deliveries with a service that reflects the highest standards of quality and environmental sustainability. With climate-controlled storage facilities, carefully planned logistics routes, a modern warehouse management system, and a dedicated own fleet of well-equipped trucks, Behrens offers round-the-clock delivery from three climate-controlled depots, minimising waste and offering value-added services such as custom cutting and joinery. Delivery times are fast and reliable, supported by a highly efficient transport system.

Giorgio Morini, Sales and Marketing Director at Panguaneta, comments:
“Our collaboration with the Behrens-Group has evolved and strengthened over time, founded on shared entrepreneurial values and a long-term strategic vision. In our German partner, we recognise the same approach to the customer that defines Panguaneta – based on trust, attentiveness and expertise. The Group’s deep market knowledge and logistical excellence make Behrens a strategic partner for Panguaneta, ensuring a consistent and timely presence across the region”.
Stefan Grotheer, CPO at Behrens Group, adds:
“Panguaneta is a company in constant evolution, offering an exceptionally broad and forward-thinking product range. This allows us to deliver cutting-edge solutions and expert guidance to our customers, both from a technical and regulatory perspective. Through our online platform BestelloPlus, customers in our entire delivery area can now access Panguaneta plywood 24/7: a further step towards an even broader and faster distribution”.
