Our History

Already in 1979 Mrs. Eva-Maria Sieghold founded the SZ-Holzagentur GmbH.
Thanks to her assertiveness and her expertise in a previously purely male domain, she successfully led the company through turbulent times for many years Trustful cooperation and mutual appreciation have led to mutual success.
These values ​​have not changed even after the handover to the new owner Petra Ronshausen. Even after the agency was handed over to the new owner, Ms. Eva-Maria Sieghold continued to provide advice and support support during the transition phase.

The competence team

Petra Ronshausen

Petra Ronshausen has been using her training in business and tax consulting for many years on her professional career in woodworking and timber processing companies.
During her commercial work in sawmills, joinery centers and in the carpentry business, she acquired extensive specialist knowledge in the field of wood. And if she didn’t know something, then she was never too good to ask the right questions.
After taking over the well-established SZ-Holzagentur in 2003, she successfully continued the company. Constantly changing market situations and requirements were always her challenges.
The “Good Soul” in the team continues to support the transition of the Timber Agency on its way into the future with their professional competence!
