Palfab Ltd is one of Ireland’s largest specialist timber manufacturing and trading companies dealing in a comprehensive range of sawn softwood timber for the construction, fencing, garden leisure and handling and packaging industries. We were founded in 1977 and since then have grown steadily in tandem with increasing output from the Irish forestry industry and general growth in the Irish economy. In addition to producing our own sawn products, we also import part processed timber from Scandinavia, Russia, the Baltic States and mainland Europe.
Our main manufacturing operation is located at Lissarda near Cork City. Over the past twenty-five years, Palfab has kept abreast of technological change in the industry and to day operates state-of-the-art production facilities that enable a high degree of product flexibility and production to the highest international quality standards.
Palfab’s output is sold primarily on the Irish and UK markets. Proximity to Cork’s deep-water port and roll-on roll-off facilities is an important convenience for bulk importing and exporting

Environmental Policy

At Palfab, we are committed to sustainable development and use only raw materials from sustainably managed forests. We encourage the wise use of energy, waste minimisation and recycling. We understand the importance of softwood as a valuable renewable resource and are committed to promoting its use in an expanding range of new sustainable applications.
Palfab is chain of custody certified for its sawlog procurement in accordance with the principals and criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This means that Palfab logs are recognised as being sourced from well-managed forests that adhere to strict environmental and socio-economic standards. Some of our product is certified by the Rainforest Alliance Certification scheme and we are working to expand the range of products covered by this exacting scheme.
