The forest is the core
The forest and its assets comprise our core business. The focus is on silviculture, timber product sales and the development of the forest's other values, such as permits for hunting, fishing and nature experiences.
Sveaskog implemented during the first quarter 2012 a new organisation. The previous process organisation was replaced by an organisation with clear profit responsibility for three geographical market areas and one business area. The new organisation will increase opportunities to make decisions closer to customers, be more customer oriented and effective and therefore increase profitability.
Sveaskog’s business activities – with sales of timber and biofuel, production, logistics and forest management – are organised in three geographical market areas, allocated on the basis of Sveaskog’s forest assets, customer structure and trade flows.
The three market areas are:
- North which includes Norrbotten, Västerbotten, as well as the northern part of Jämtland and Västernorrland (mainly north of the E14).
- Central which includes Jämtland and Västernorrland, Gävleborg, Dalarna, Värmland, Västmanland, Uppsala, Stockholm, Södermanland as well as parts of Östergötland and Västra Götaland (the border with South goes along the Göta Canal).
- South which includes parts of Östergötland and Västra Götaland as well as Jönköping, Kronoberg, Kalmar, Blekinge, Skåne and Halland.
The principal locations for the market area offices are Piteå, Örebro and Växjö. Sveaskog’s leasing activities, land transactions and property administration are organised in a single business area, Properties. Most of the services in this business area are located locally close to the land holdings and customers.
