• performing machine settings and adjustments for different product categories
• participating in preventive maintenance and simple corrective actions

In this recruitment, we are looking for two sawmill operators, one for our painting line and one for our planing mill.

We are a genuine family business that started as a carpentry shop in Sikfors, Norrbotten in 1947. A village surrounded by forest, a forest that we have managed and refined since then. It is no exaggeration to say that we are at home in the forest and that we truly care about our hometown.

Perhaps that is why we have always worked to utilize the forest we draw upon as responsibly as possible since our inception. Utilize all parts. Optimize extraction. Therefore, we also refine small timber where others make chips from those logs. We thought circularly and resource-efficiently long before we knew what sustainability was.

For us, it is self-evident to reinvest our profits in developing our business and indirectly be a driving force for the economy in rural areas. In recent years, we have reinvested no less than one billion in new technology and improved operations. Today, we have 562 employees at 22 locations generating 2.3 billion in revenue.

We have evolved into a group, from saw chain to retail chain. Today, Stenvalls owns 10 XL-BYGG stores. In the group, we have also developed several other companies in various specialties, including Kallax Flyg and Genesis IT. A development journey that we have only just begun. For entrepreneurship is our lifeblood, to constantly evolve and improve.
