Forestry

Kuhmo Oy is the largest forestry company in Kainuu. We use the two main species of the local forests, pine 80% and spruce 20%. Our main suppliers are state forests and local private forest owners. We are often the sole buyer to many forest owners as we can use up to 90% of commercially harvested round wood. This is made possible by our investment into sawing equipment capable of handling small size round wood coming from thinning operations and tops of trees.

 

HistoryEnvironment

Kuhmo Oy

Kuhmo Oy is a dynamic, internationally operating private sawmill. Our commitment is in providing high quality products to match customer’s needs with full compliance with environmental sustainability requirements and certification.

Our raw material, pine and spruce, grow in the tough northern climate providing dense and slow grown timber. It is best northern raw material coming from the sustainably maintained forests of Kainuu. Timber is a natural product that can be used as bio fuel at the end of its usage.

Our product is identified by the URSUS shipping mark. The slow grown and beautiful wood from Kuhmo is most suitable for interior decoration as well as joinery and furniture production. The strength properties are also excellent for its use in structural and load bearing applications.
