Wood Products of Northern Spruce and Pine

In our production units we employ the best suitable technologies throughout the production processes. High quality technology, skilled staff and our desire to serve our customers ensure reliable deliveries under all circumstances. Our products are produced of sustainably sourced logs and the end products are traceable throughout the entire supply chain.

In Finland, in the northern and harsh conditions, trees grow slowly into dense and durable material. The logs that we use are small and sound knotted, which gives timber its excellent tensile strength and elasticity properties. Thanks to these characteristics our products are safe to be used even in the most demanding house building projects. In addition to the superior technical properties the visual appearance of the timber is beautiful which makes it suitable for interior use also.

Sawn Timber of Pine and Spruce

Customer orientation is a key concept of our sawn timber process. In addition to our standard product range, we can produce customised sizes, lengths and moisture contents. The total production capacity of our three sawmills is over 1 million cbm annually. Approximately 70 % of the total production is pine and 30 % spruce.

In our modern sawmills the logs are sorted according to both the top diameter and quality of the log into different log classes aimed for different end products. We use x-ray sorting in the log sorting lines to ensure that each log is best suited for the product it will be used for.
