Cornerstone of the Finnish economy
Sawn timber was Finland’s fourth most important export item in 2021: its export value was EUR 2.8 billion. Sawmills utilise one third of the roundwood harvested in Finland annually, paying two thirds of forest owners’ stumpage earnings.
Sawn timber is a product that binds the carbon stored in forests for as long as centuries.
Finnish Sawmills Association
The Finnish Sawmills Association promotes the interests of the independent sawmilling industry. The association has more than 30 member companies.

Metsäministereiden julkilausuma on tarpeellinen kannanotto ja ylipäätänsä tärkeää yhteistyötä. EU:ssa pitäisi panostaa puun saatavuuden ja kustannuskilpailukyvyn parantamiseen, ei heikentämiseen. Meillä on hyvät edellytykset kestävään kasvuun!
