In Sweden, Finland and to an extent Norway, much of the land area is forested, the pulp and paper industry is one of the most significant industrial sectors.

Chemical pulping produces an excess of energy, since the organic matter in black liquor, mostly lignin and hemicellulose breakdown products, is burned in the recovery boiler.

Thus, these countries have high proportions of renewable energy use (25% in Finland, for instance). Considerable effort is directed towards increasing the value and usage of forest products by companies and by government projects.

We write about the design and manufacturing of advanced solutions for processing the renewable raw-material wood.

Today we follow the developments of Europe's leading machine and plant suppliers: 

• customer-oriented solutions for sawmills
• glulam plants
• prefabricate house constructions
• production of solid timber boards for the construction industry

At Ligna 2017 we learned again, European wood industry technology providers are able to tailor their products to meet any specific requirements and virtually any spatial conditions.

Whether you are looking for machines or plants for complete new mills or to revamp or optimize existing systems, KK-Net helps you to find more information about suitable suppliers.
