Norra Timber’s extensive modernization of the Sävar sawmill in northern Sweden has now been put to the test – and the results place the facility firmly in the global top tier. In the final acceptance test of the new log sorting line, carried out in close cooperation with equipment supplier Nordautomation Oy, Sävar Sawmill exceeded all performance requirements by a wide margin, clearly demonstrating the capacity and stability of the new high-tech installation.

Norra Timber is now launching construction timber in pine – classified as C24. This new initiative allows the sawmills to better utilize smaller logs, resulting in increased turnover in the planing mills.
