Metsä Pine sawn timber

Pine (Pinus sylvestris), also known as Scandinavian redwood, is a type of evergreen softwood tree, designated as one of the dominant wood species of Finnish forests. Our pine sawn timber is particularly known for its pine wood strength and is well-suited for windows, doors, log houses, carpentry products, planed wood goods, high-quality glulam solutions, finger jointing, skirting boards, thermally modified timber and for packaging industry applications.

The key properties of our pine sawn timber are

  • a high content of heartwood
  • dense growth rings and a regular knot frequency
  • consistent quality and appearance
  • even moisture

The Nordic pine sawn timber is produced at our sawmills in Lappeenranta and Rauma in Finland, with a total average capacity of 1 million cubic meters, using wood from sustainably managed forests.

Advanced and customised sawn timber production

Our state-of-the-art facilities and leading advanced manufacturing technologies makes us a leading sawn timber supplier in the Finnish forestry industry. We produce our pine sawn timber from the perspective of the desired properties by the customer.. The logs from Nordic pine trees arrive to our sawmills. First they are debarked and sawn to sizes and dimensions of the desired end use. The sawn timbers are then dried to regulate the moisture of the product. Ultimately, every piece is graded and sorted based on their visual, structural and quality features. We consider the natural qualities of the wood, annual rings and knot frequency as well as heartwood content or moisture content precisely. Among several advantages of pine wood include the natural structure of pine enabling the products’ impregnation for various sites requiring weather and rot resistance.
