The Team

CEO

Rainer Eder

The idea and concept for Timber-Online – which now goes by the name holzkurier.com – came from DI Dr. Rainer Eder, board director of the AV-Holding.

Rainer Eder was the editor-in-chief of the Holzkurier between 1994 and 2002 and is still closely connected with the medium.

Editor in Chief

Gerd Ebner

A majority of the market reports are penned by Holzkurier's editor-in-chief DI Gerd Ebner. He has been working for the Österreichischer Agrarverlag since 1996. Until 2001, Carinthia-born Ebner was responsible for establishing the timber specialist group on the German market. This function brought him to almost all continents on his many business trips. Since July 2002, Ebner has been head of the wood specialist group of the Österreichischer Agrarverlag. He is responsible for seven media in this role.

The passionate sportsman charges his batteries during long racing and mountain bike tours across Europe as well as jogging trips through the Vienna Woods or in Carinthia, his home province. His next sporting ambition is a 1400 km bicycle race that will take him from London to Edinburgh and back.
