A FAMILY BUSINESS TRANSFORMS INTO MODERN PREFAB FACTORY

Timbeco has a strong presence in diverse markets, with a rich history of serving Scandinavian countries such as Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Finland, where the demand for high-quality, sustainable timber houses aligns perfectly with our expertise. Our home market of Estonia also play a significant role in our business, reflecting our ability to meet local and regional needs with precision-crafted solutions.

In recent years, we have experienced growing success in Central Europe, particularly in Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, where clients value our energy-efficient, eco-friendly homes and innovative prefabricated timber structures. Additionally, our long-standing relationship with the Japanese market spans more than 20 years, showcasing our ability to adapt to the unique requirements and high standards of one of the world’s most demanding construction industries.

By staying attuned to the needs of these diverse markets, Timbeco continues to deliver exceptional products and build lasting partnerships around the globe.

In 1993, the Leisalu family in Estonia established Timbeco, originally known as Palktare, with a modest 800m² production facility and 1,000m² of storage. From the start, the focus was on crafting high-quality timber structures with precision and care. Driven by a spirit of innovation and a dedication to improving lives, Timbeco expanded by embracing prefabricated timber houses and making strategic investments in advanced technology, employee training, and sustainable practices.

Today, Timbeco operates with 9,200m² of production space and 10,100m² of storage, delivering energy-efficient, eco-friendly homes to clients worldwide. Despite its transformation into a leader in the prefab housing industry, Timbeco remains true to its founding mission: creating homes that elevate quality of life while upholding values of craftsmanship, responsibility, and innovation.
