Why Norra Skog?

Here, you become part of a values-driven organization where togetherness, joy, innovation, equality, and sustainability are guiding principles. We believe in creating a culture where people thrive, develop, and perform – together.

Norra Timber processes timber from northern Swedish forests.

Norra Timber is part of Norra Skog, a member-owned organization driven by making forest ownership life in Norrland as valuable as possible for our 27,000 members. We advocate for sustainable forestry and a vibrant rural community. Our members contribute diversity and sustainable use of the forest, and in our industries, we optimize the use of raw materials from every harvested tree.

Our timber comes from one of the world's best forest districts – northern Sweden. The harsh climate means the forest grows slowly here. This makes it slow-growing, fine-branched, and with dense annual rings. Therefore, pine and spruce from Norrland are considered among the most prestigious wood raw materials. We somewhat humbly call it "vintage timber." It is with great pride that we note that our northern forests are processed into climate-smart products used across large parts of the world.

Norra Timber's operations include three sawmills, three processing units, and a pole factory. We produce nearly 800,000 cubic meters of sawn timber, 250,000 cubic meters of planed timber, as well as approximately 60,000 turned pine poles and 150,000 chip bales per year. About 60% of timber sales go to export. The association also owns 30 percent of Husum Pulp AB. Within the Norra Skog group, more than 600 people work, and the turnover amounts to approximately 5 billion SEK.
