From the CEO

Koskisen is over hundred years old family-owned wood processing company. We have now reached a stage where it is natural to accelerate growth and build the Koskisen of the next decades. For this reason, we are arranging an IPO for new shareholders of Koskisen.

We live in symbiosis with forest owners and want to be their primary partner. We mainly source the wood from private forest owners, and we help them through the process, if necessary, on a turnkey basis. Responsible wood procurement is an absolute prerequisite for our operations.

Koskisen is a Finnish, family-owned wood processing company with more than hundred years of history operating on the wood products markets. Koskisen’s key market segments include sawn softwood, birch plywood and chipboard. Wood products are a good alternative for materials in multiple applications due to their positive carbon sink, durability, and renewable nature.

Koskisen has two business segments: Sawn Timber Industry and Panel Industry. The Sawn Timber Industry business segment produces sawn and further processed timber and the Panel Industry business segment produces plywood, thin plywood, veneers, chipboards and interior solutions for light and heavy commercial vehicles under the Kore brand.

Koskisen is currently building a new unit in Järvelä, where production is expected to begin in stages during 2023 and 2024.
