Forest

Holmen is one of the largest forest owners in Sweden. We manage the forest actively and sustainably to make sure it grows optimally, giving us the best raw material. Adopting a long-term view, we take responsibility for the forest ecocycle from seed to replanting while safeguarding biodiversity. Our employees manage our
forests, buy wood and help private forest owners with harvesting and forest conservation.

In modern sawmills, we produce sawn and refined wood products for joinery, construction and builders’ merchants. We also offer custo- mised solutions for climate-smart, large-scale building in wood.
