The mill, which specialises in Douglas fir and spruce, exports between 70-80% of its production and views the UK as a market with growing potential.

Besides its ultra-modern mill, which produces all its sawn timber to order, Van Roje has its own biofuel power plant and wood pellet and bark garden product manufacturing facilities, enabling it to use 100% of its raw material.

A full feature on the company follows in a later edition of TTJ.
