Gällö Timber, a joint venture between SCA and Persson Invest, started operations at the beginning of June. The new company comprises the Swedish sawmills Gällö, Tjärnvik and Jämtlamell, Stugun.
“Gällö has a good reputation among customers, so we expect a flying start. Gällö Timber will be a competitive company that will make good use of the valuable timber raw material in the Jämtland region.” says Tommy Högberg, President of the new company and formerly Production manager at SCA’s sawmill Tunadal.
“With the addition of Gällö Timber’s products, SCA Timber will be able to offer larger volumes of sawn products – more than two million cubic meters in total – making us a more attractive partner for the most dynamic wood-products customers in Europe and in other markets,” says Jonas Mårtensson, President of SCA Timber.
"SCA Timber will be able to offer larger volumes of sawn products."
A total of 161 employees are affected at the sawmills at Gällö, Tjärnvik and Stugun, in addition to some 10 contractor staff. The combined production of the three sawmills is 400,000 cubic meters of sawn products.
