For over 95 years, K\u00d6LBL has been a traditional company and a synonym for quality and passion in the field of tonewood processing. What began in 1929 as a small craft business is now a leading supplier of high-quality tonewood for the music industry. <\/p>\n
Our innovative strength and living tradition combine to form a unique philosophy – always with the aim of offering customers only the best material for their musical instruments.<\/p>\n
The K\u00d6LBL family has lived the love of music for generations. From grandfather to father and now to the next generation, the knowledge of selecting trees, recognising tonewood quality and processing has always been passed on and refined. This passion characterises every phase of our work – from buying the wood to processing and selling the product.<\/p>\n
We have found our new home at the plant in Aigen-Schl\u00e4gl, where we have gradually expanded and modernised our factory in recent years. Our many years of experience and close co-operation with suppliers and customers are the cornerstone of our success.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ min_height=”446.8px” custom_margin=”-59px||-156px|||” custom_padding=”||61px||false|false” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”separator” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]
Our philosophy:<\/strong><\/p>\n Traditional craftsmanship<\/strong><\/p>\n From the very beginning, it was precision craftsmanship that characterised K\u00d6LBL’s success. Even his grandfather combined craftsmanship with a passion for music and wood. This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation – through a lot of time spent in the workshop and countless trips and excursions to suppliers, customers and the forest.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.koelbl.co.at\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/KOLBL-Alpine-Fichte-Qualitatssortierung.png” title_text=”K\u00d6LBL Alpine Fichte Qualit\u00e4tssortierung” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Innovation meets tradition<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite its deep-rooted tradition, K\u00d6LBL does not stand still.
