True efficiency means being prepared for the future
We constantly are constantly looking for ways to make our production processes more flexible so that they can easily meet future demands in terms of safety, sustainability and capacity. We invest heavily in our facilities to ensure that they can deliver higher quantities and better quality without compromising on sustainability.
Our operations in Mönsterås and Värö are combined facilities, which means that both a pulp mill and a sawmill are operating in the same location. The pulp mill provides the sawmill with green energy and in return, the sawmill produces bark and cellulose chips. The closed-loop cycle of these combined facilities results in higher energy efficiency and less transportation.
Fossil free production for a sustainable world
Our construction timber is produced across seven modern sawmills in both Sweden and Finland. These seven facilities combined produce a total of 2 million cubic metres of sawn timber annually. As of early 2020, all our products, from sawn timber to building systems to pulp, are produced without the use of fossil fuels.
