This decision reflects the continued expansion of the wood products business area within Holmen and the 2,500m2 of covered storage will facilitate faster and efficient deliveries, to its buyers across the UK. The terminal will stock joinery products including redwood, whitewood, and glulam.
The announcement marks the latest step in Holmen’s programme to enhance its service to the UK.
“We’re delighted to bring this new service operation to the UK market to support the changing needs of our client base,” said Nathan MacWard, landed stock operations controller. “Providing stock on the ground gives greater access to the Holmen products to businesses of all sizes and brings greater speed to deliveries whilst minimising the chance for delays.”
Holmen produces sawn and refined wood products for joinery, construction and builders’ merchants. Following the acquisition of Martinsons in 2020, Holmen is now also able to offer engineered solutions for climate-smart and large-scale wood construction, both CLT and glulam products.
