SCA FOREST PRODUCTS produces publication papers, pulp, solid- wood products and forest-based biofuels. SCA Forest Products also manages SCA's extensive forest holdings, supplies SCA's Swedish industries with wood raw materials and offers cost-efficient transport solutions to SCA's units.


The business area coordinates these closely linked operations and capitalizes on further synergy gains with SCA's other business areas.

FOREST PRODUCTS controls the entire chain from raw material to the end-product at the customer. This is of major importance to product devlopment, product quality and efficient production, and applies to sawmills and pulp production as well as the hygiene and publication paper operations.




Net sales in 2007 amounted to SEK 18,744 M (c. EUR 2 billion) and the average number of employees to 4,092.
