Valion stems from a 39‑year‑old German founder who spent years inside a global forestry leader, rotating across administration and sales, and contributing to strategy, investment, and operational initiatives.
Working across geographies and visiting industrial manufacturers and timberlands around the world, he saw first‑hand the opportunities to bring this industry to the next level—leveraging technology to make operations more efficient and resilient.
Valion was created as a disciplined, long‑horizon family office to compound value by pairing operating excellence with applied AI, reinvesting learnings across holdings to drive profitable, sustainable growth.
