SCA is Europe’s largest private forest owner with 2.7 million hectares of forest land. As a resource, the forest yields stable profitability and value growth. Forest has an increasingly important role to play in the transition to a more sustainable society. SCA manufactures processed wood products for the European building materials trade, as well as for the wood industry around the world. SCA operates five sawmills in close proximity to the forest raw material base. The sawmills are well-invested and are among the largest in Europe with an annual capacity of 2.2 million m3 of solid-wood products. They have a high degree of automation and use x-ray technology to maximize the yield from every log. The technology means that the sawmills can sort, select and adjust the log to suit the requirements of the end product. SCA also operates planing mills, painting facilities and impregnation plants and is engaged in the further processing.
