Woodwise Wood Procurement
Koskisen sources wood only from legal and responsible sources, ensuring reliability in timber procurement. We adhere to the best practices and standards of sustainable forestry in all our wood procurement, including PEFC and FSC certifications.
In addition, Koskisen uses a chain-of-custody system in all procurement to ensure that wood material is sourced legally and ethically from reliable and identified sources. The origin of all raw materials is always checked so that the forests in protected areas are safeguarded, and wood is not sourced from controversial sources.
Woodwise at a Modern Sawmill
Sawing, drying and grading are carried out according to certified quality management systems. Koskisen’s strength graded timber also fulfils the requirements for CE marking.
New modern sawmill produces high-quality products efficiently, with even greater resource utilization. This ensures that raw materials are optimally used for long-lasting products, promoting long-term carbon sequestration. Additionally, new production line consumes approximately 20 percent less electricity per cubic meter of lumber produced.
Woodwise Panel Industry – Not a single chip wasted
The journey of wood from the forest to highly refined birch plywood, thin plywood, and veneer, as well as chipboard, is entirely in the hands of our company’s experts from start to finish. Our plywood products are made from genuine natural material, renewable and high-quality Finnish birch, grown in responsibly managed forests. Chipboards are made from sawdust and wood chips, by-products of sawmills and birch plywood production.
Our latest product innovation, Zero Furniture Board, is a completely new type of interior board in which the fossil binder has been replaced with a renewable wood-based binder, lignin. The wood raw materials for Zero board come from the side streams of Koskisen’s manufacturing processes.
