Strategy
The shift continues towards increasingly processed and customized products focused on markets with good growth and leading customers. Raw material, production and logistics expertise as well as close cooperation with customers provide competitive advantages.
Two terms clarify the strategy: visible wood and developed wood.
Visible wood is products for interiors and joinery such as panels, floors, windows, doors and furniture. The customer base includes the house building sector, the home furnishings sector and the furniture industry.
Developed wood is products that are prepared for the next stage in the processing chain in accordance with customer wishes and which meet the demands of customers’ customers.
