Johan Oja, a Docent in wood technology at Luleå University of Technology and Technical Director at Norra Timber, which is owned by Norra Skog, has become one of the newest members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA).

His membership was approved at an academy meeting on Tuesday, December 3. Oja will work within the department for Forestry Technology, where he hopes to contribute with his extensive research and industry experience.

As part of the Swedish forest industry, Norra Timber is a part of underpinning the Swedish economy, as well as Sweden’s climate policy. As one of the world’s largest exporters of pulp, paper, and sawn timber, we are making an important contribution to employment all throughout Sweden and to the global climate benefit. This is how we have the power to make a difference.
