Almost half of Austria is covered by woods, thus making it one of the most well-forested countries in Europe, featuring a total forested surface of 4 million hectares. And the total forested surface and the wood capacities increase by approximately 4,000 hectares every year. This number equals the surface area of about 5,500 football fields, which means that the wood regrows faster than it is being harvested. The percentage of forested areas is even higher in Styria, where the headquarters and production facility of Rubner Holzindustrie is located: more than 60 %
