Douglasien-Hobelwerk Alois Benz

Founded in 1822, this Black Forest planing mill specializes in processing Douglas fir. The company produces solid wood planks, extra-wide tongue-and-groove planks, terrace decking, and wooden facades. A recent addition is a new hydroelectric power plant at the mill. The business is run by the Benz family, with Konrad Benz as managing director.
