Our story
Degmeda – a name that opened a new chapter in Shou Sugi Ban (charred wood) boards in Europe and beyond. In 2018, we were among the first in Europe to produce Shou Sugi Ban (charred wood) boards at large scale. From the start, our goal was clear – not only to manufacture, but to help create spaces that inspire today and endure for generations. Today, architects, designers, and visionaries worldwide trust our name.
As of 2025, our work has reached more than 3,550 projects worldwide, with total production exceeding 660,000 m². We now have the capacity to produce up to 6,000 m² of carefully crafted charred wood every week – ensuring not only volume, but also uncompromising quality.
Perfection is not a final destination, but a continuous journey where persistence and precision merge with the strength of tradition and the power of innovation. This philosophy guides every decision we make and is embodied in every board that leaves our factory.
CE, EPD, FSC, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 certifications confirm compliance with the highest standards of safety, sustainability, and performance. Degmeda is more than a manufacturer – we are a partner in creating spaces that are built to inspire and engineered to endure.
