Södra has decided to investigate the conditions for a new large-scale sawmill in Kinda in Östergötland, Sweden. A preliminary project will be undertaken and serve as a basis for a future investment decision.
Södra’s assignment is to improve and renew the value of forest estates. A key part of the association’s Group strategy is a future-proof industrial structure that continuously creates a leading offering for customers and consumers. The association’s sawmills play a central role in this work and Södra has therefore now decided to launch a preliminary project to study the conditions for the construction of a new large-scale sawmill.
The preliminary project will start in the spring and will investigate the potential to replace Södra’s current sawmill in Kinda in Östergötland Municipality, Sweden. The new facility under investigation would be constructed using the latest technology in the industry and mark a technology leap that would benefit health and safety and productivity.
Södra Wood Kinda is one of Södra’s eight sawmills and the unit is strategically located to contribute towood sales in the area and Södra’s customer offering.
The preliminary project will start in the spring and is expected to be finalized during the first half of 2024.
Södra is the largest forest-owner association in Sweden, with 51,000 family forest owners as members.
