We are forest product experts
The forest industry manufactures a vast range of semi-produced and finished products. Forest industry supply chains depend on innovative and cost-effective solutions that are transparent all the way. Short lead times, optimising stock, reliability, and cargo care can make or break the success of a forest industry manufacturer.
