About SCA Products (UK) Ltd
Well-invested sawmills increase the value of the forest
Two-thirds of forest owners’ income is derived from sawmills, and a competitive sawmill industry is in many ways the engine that drives the forestry sector. This is why SCA has invested close to one billion kronor in the development and efficiency of its sawmills in recent years with the aim of maximizing the value generated from each tree all times.
Impregnated by nature itself
The water-repellent, rot-resistant properties of heartwood make it ideal for manufacturing wood products for outdoor use. But what is heartwood and how is it formed?
Wood - a building material with less impact
Through a solid mapping of our entire value chain, from the forest, through the sawmill and out to the customer we can present our climate footprint with SCA's own EPDs.

We operate within an industry that finds itself in a market situation where we must look back several decades to find a comparison. But just as history has always demonstrated, challenging times also give rise to opportunities, and we look ahead with confidence.
Timber project drive construction industry forward
Fifty kilometres outside Stockholm, in the small town of Bålsta, something is happening that’s never been done before, and that nobody really knows how to do as yet. Not even Logicenters, which will be implementing the project. And yet the company is working on erecting the world’s first carbon-free logistics hall. A massive building, more than 20,000 square metres in area and made almost entirely of timber, which will produce no emissions at all during its life-cycle.
SCA to introduce world unique electric timber truck
Together Scania and SCA have developed an electrically-powered timber transport which has over 1,5 years has transported timber between the timber terminal in north of Sweden. The truck is the first of its kind and a key part of establishing a sustainable transport system for heavier loads – and thereby a major step in reducing climate impact.
