Sweden's leading forest port

We are Sweden's leading forest port. With a range of significant investments, we aim to become Europe's most modern forest port as well. Our goal is to guarantee the Swedish forestry industry's access to the world – and to be an obvious link in the logistics chain for forest products. With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and digitalization, we continue to grow and strengthen the development of climate-efficient freight flows and future-proof trade routes for Swedish forest products.
