The iVTH
The iVTH was founded in 1946 as "Verein für Technische Holzfragen" on the initiative of Dr. Wilhelm Klauditz, the former director of the correspondent institute, subsequent the Fraunhofer-Institut für Holzforschung.
The iVTH is an association of companies and personalities which promotes research and development in the field of wood and other renewable raw materials.
Our missions are:
