Södra subsidiary Gapro has acquired turned posts and pine components manufacturer Nordingrå Trä.
Nordingrå Trä, located on the northern Swedish coast, recorded sales of SKr8m in 2008 and mainly sells to Scandinavian builders merchants.
Gapro said the acquisition allowed it to broaden its product range for the building trade, while also exploring possibilities to expand Nordingrå’s current range to include hardwood.
Gapro specialises in mouldings, panelling and flooring, with sales of SKr870m in 2008. It has 11 production plants in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Meanwhile, Södra has announced it is introducing a premium of SKr25/m³ FUB (solid volume excluding bark) on standard spruce and pine saw logs. The premium applies to contracts signed prior to August 31.
