Today, we operate a modern industrial group that works from the forest to finished wood products, with operations in Sikfors, Luleå/Bergnäset, Örarna, Seskarö, and Piteå/Lövholmen. We produce climate-smart wood products for both the Swedish market and export – with about 70% of the volume going internationally.

The group also includes companies such as Kallax Flyg, Stenvalls Skogar, XL-Bygg Stenvalls, Genesis IT, and several real estate companies.

Our culture is characterized by an entrepreneurial spirit, long-term thinking, and responsibility. We believe in humility, decisiveness, and close dialogue between departments. In recent years, we have invested over a billion SEK in modernizing and developing our operations – and our journey continues.

Our core values are brave, action-oriented, and genuine. These permeate Stenvalls operations, both in operational and strategic work.
