The user-friendly Marketplace feature enables easy product collection and editing of delivery times and places. With the Track & Trace feature, customers can monitor their deliveries in real time. All order documents are saved automatically for later use.
Sustainability services
With Sustainability services, customers can easily ensure that the sawn timber they purchase is compliant with relevant regulations and produced sustainably.
The service also offers customers training and support in various responsibility areas, such as applying for certificates. A Metsä Experience visit gives customers the opportunity to learn about sustainable forestry, the origin of wood, various harvesting and regeneration methods, and sawn timber production at one of Metsä Fibre’s sawmills. Each Metsä Experience visit is tailored to the participating customers’ needs.
Technical Expertise services
Technical Expertise services help customers find sawn timber that best suits their product and boosts the performance and competitiveness of their business.
