Setra hosts 60-strong EU delegation at Nyby sawmill
4 June 2023An EU delegation comprising plant health officers has toured Setra’s facilities in Sweden.
Setra hosted 26 of the EU’s 27 member states – totalling 60 people – at the company’s Nyby facility.
Wood traceability, legal requirements, certification and drying of the wood were subjects discussed.
“Many of the visitors had never been to a modern sawmill before and they enjoyed seeing how the whole process works,” said Jonas Lantz, mill manager at Setra Nyby.
“It was good to be able to link together the entire value chain, from the forest through to the finished wood products.”
The visit was organised by the Ministry of Rural Affairs and Infrastructure together with the Swedish Board of Agriculture, in cooperation with SLU, Mellanskog and Setra.
The purpose of the visit was, among other things, to discuss issues of a strategic nature with the aim of preventing the introduction and spread of plant pests covered by the Plant Protection Act.
