Sweden’s most recent wood products company Gällö Timber has now started operations.
The formation of Gällö follows a decision in February by SCA and Persson Invest to form a new wood products company together.
Comprising the sawmills Gällö, Tjärnvik and Stugun, the new operation represents another step in the co-operation between SCA and Perrson, with respect to sales of sawn products in certain markets and in raw material procurement.
“All preparations have gone as planned,” said Gällö president Tommy Högberg. “The last piece was the green light from the competition authority.
“On June 1 the new company started operations and we will now put all efforts into developing the company and its business. Gällö Timber will be a competitive company that will make good use of the valuable timber raw material in the Jämtland region.”
The combined production of the three sawmills is 400,000m³ of sawn products.
