A joint marketing organisation has been established by SCA and Scaninge Timber to tackle international markets.
It will be headed up by Anders Ek, marketing director at SCA Timber, who will be based at Scaninge’s Bollsta sawmill.
Together, SCA and Scaninge Timber represent Sweden’s largest producer of solid wood products, with a capacity for producing 14 million m³ of solid wood products including planed goods and components.
Mr Ek said: ‘The SCA/Scaninge marketing organisation will gain from best practices demonstrated by both sides of the business. Our combined resources will speed up the development of products and services across our major markets in Europe and as far afield as Japan and the US.’
The new organisation will use the SCA logo but each company will retain its existing shipping marks and product brands.
