A wood purchasing company
To satisfy the increasing needs of wood for the industry, SCA Skog
has gradually built up an organisation for the purpose of procuring
raw materials from private forest owners in Northern Sweden.
Today, the Group has some 60 wood purchasers
and marketing managers from Sundsvall and further
north. SCA aims to be the best partner for a longterm business relationship. Our quality-assured
work methods place forest owners and their needs
in focus.
All of the knowledge and experience that SCA has
gained in its own forests is now being offered to
other forest owners, and we place the same high
standards and do the same meticulous work in
private forests as we do in our own forests.

What do we get from one tree?
PULP WOOD is refined to example
publication papers, tissue,
containerboard
1 hectare GROT (branches and tree
tops) will heat 3 houses/year
SAWLOGS becomes planks and
boards, and most of it will be refined
to high quality solid-wood products
1 hectare STUMPS will heat

management methods which, in many
respects, resemble natural disturbance
factors, such as fires
 Detailed knowledge of the production
conditions and conservation aspects of
SCA’s forests
 Ecological landscape planning
Photo: Lars Häggmark
 High level of competence among all
employees and continued development
of the knowledge base and methods
25
 Cooperation with public authorities with
regard to special protection under the
Nature Conservation Act
