Södra Interior is one of Scandinavia’s leading manufacturers of mouldings, panelling, flooring, poles, glued-joints and other interior fittings with operations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Lithuania and has 630 employees.
“By merging Timber and Interior, we are taking a structural approach to sawn and planed timber as well as interior wood,” said Södra CEO Lars Idermark. “We are strengthening our market presence and industrial structures, enabling us to realise synergies throughout the supply chain, from raw material to customer.”
“The move is in line with our efforts to improve our internal efficiency, which is something we are working with on all fronts,.”
Södra Timber president Håkan Svensson has been appointed president of the merged business area, which will have a combined revenue of SKr5.5bn and about 1,500 employees.
