The German purchasing cooperations Holzland, E/D/E and EK/Servicegroup are to collaborate in the future. In this way timber merchants associated with E/D/E and EK/Servicegroup will also have the possibility of joining Holzland and in future will have access to the services offered by Holzland. Members are to calculate their timber turnover directly via Holzland in future. Services in the building elements sector will continue to be ensured by E/D/E and EK/Servicegroup. This is in response to the wishes expressed by the commercial enterprises concerned. The agreement affects the approximately 60 timber commercial concerns which belong to E/D/E and EK/Servicegroup, 17 of which have already decided to join Holzland. From the middle of the year onwards all Holzland companies will also have access to the ranges of the E/D/E central warehouse. On 10 and 11 June 2012 E/D/E will be represented for the first time ever at what will now be the fifth Holzland-Expo event in Hanover.
