Wood industries are found in all municipalities in Västerbotten. In Västerbotten there is a comprehensive range of large rational, as well as less specialized sawmills and planing mills. Together, they form an important framework in Västerbotten's wood industry. The further processing of the sawn timber at these units is steadily increasing, for example through the manufacture of customized components.
Residual products
Residual products such as shavings and chips form the raw material for wood fiber boards, pulp and paper. One area that is increasing strongly is the production of wood pellets for energy production.
