Back from an Inspiring Trip to Finland!
Last month, we attended the @Wood From Finland Conference. All sawmills from Finland were present, along with buyers from dozens of countries. This event gave us the perfect opportunity to meet with our suppliers and connect with new potential partners.
Wood From Finland Conference
One of the key topics at the conference was Finland’s approach to forest management—an impressive example of sustainability.
Did you know that 71.6% of Finland is covered by forests? The country’s annual wood growth exceeds 105 million cubic meters, and over the past 50 years, this growth has doubled! Finnish forests currently hold more than 2.5 billion cubic meters of wood, with over 1 billion cubic meters added in the last half-century. These figures highlight Finland’s leading role in forestry and sustainable resource management.
Additionally, 6.6% of Finland’s land area is strictly protected, while 5.4% is subject to limited use. The high level of PEFC certification further underscores the commitment to responsible forest management.
Visiting Sawmills in Finland
Beyond the conference, we took the opportunity to visit several sawmills. With freezing temperatures and a snow-covered landscape, the journey offered breathtaking winter views.One of our key visits was to our supplier of thermally modified wood. This high-quality wood, known as Thermowood, is available in both rough and planed forms and can be delivered from half a truckload onwards.
Planed Wood from Finland
In addition to rough spruce wood, where we offer pick-a-pack options in 22mm and 32mm, planed wood from Finland is also available. The quality of the wood from this region is truly outstanding!
In short, our journey to Finland was both inspiring and productive.
