Forssell Timber exports sawn, further processed and sustainable wood products mainly to Japan but also to other countries in South East Asia. The products are primarily used for housing construction and become beams, posts and other components. We also deliver products to the do-it-yourself industry and interior products such as flooring and panelling. Our operations can be divided into three business areas.

• We are in charge of the Japanese sales and marketing operations for SCA Timber, one of Europe’s leading sawmill companies. SCA Timber, with whom we have worked since 2005, is a subsidiary to the forest products company SCA (Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget), which has almost 40,000 employees and operations worldwide. SCA owns 2.6 million hectares of forest land and is Europe’s largest private forest owner.

• We also represent a number of wood industries, including Fiskarheden Trävaruaktiebolag, a family owned company established 1929. We are exclusively responsible for and manage their sales operations.

• Our operations also include a network of wood product industries that are sub-contractors for our own sales and exports.

Forssell Timber’s collective experience and knowledge is at the base of more than 1,000 personal contacts throughout Japan.

The companies we work with are carefully chosen end-users, trading houses and distributers, all of whom are leaders in their segments.
