The entire storage room, together with wood stocks and five sawing machines were destroyed.
No injuries were reported as witnesses were able to wake the owner's family - who were sleeping next door - and lead them to safety.
Firefighters battled the fierce blaze for an hour before they could bring it under control. Their efforts prevented the fire from expanding to other nearby carpentry factories.
The cause of the fire is so far unclear and the case remains under investigation.
