Business-related purchasing

In business-related purchasing, the buyer sits close to the operational activities out at our mills and sawmills, and works closely with the staff on site to solve purchasing needs in the best possible way. Here you work broadly with many different types of purchasing categories to solve the needs that arise in the pulsating operation of the business.
