Lake and rocks in autumn forest

Holmen Group

We are part of an ecocycle from seedling to plank, where the raw material is refined into everything from wood for climate-smart buildings to renewable packaging, magazines and books. We also produce our own renewable energy from hydro and wind power.

Circularity – integral to our business

Working for biodiversity on every level

Our operations span forestry and renewable energy such as hydro power and wind power all the way to sawmills and pulp mills. All our business areas are working actively to strengthen biodiversity. How? See the examples shown.

We help our customers in their sustainable business

The key to profitable, long-term, and sustainable business is our climate-smart products, which form part of the transition to an economy in which bio-based raw materials and products replace fossil-based ones, including building houses out of wood instead of concrete and replacing plastic with paperboard.

We contribute to a better climate

The forest is an invaluable resource that binds carbon and provides a renewable alternative to fossil material. Young, growing trees bind more carbon than old trees whose growth has slowed.

Job opportunities at Holmen

Business areas

In our business areas, we turn our forest holdings into wood products for sustainable building, cost-effective paper, premium paperboard and renewable energy.

Forest

Holmen is one of the largest forest owners in Sweden. We are also among the country’s biggest wood buyers. Every year, we buy in a little over 11 million cubic metres of wood.

Paperboard

Holmen produces paperboard for packaging in the premium segment. The customer groups may cover a broad spectrum, but they have one thing in common – they want traceable and sustainable products of consistently high quality that guarantee stable results in the customer’s production process.

High quality fresh fiber based paper

Holmen develops and sells high-quality paper based on fresh fibre, using renewable raw materials from sustainably managed Swedish forests.

Wood products

At Holmen, we supply wood products to the joinery and construction industries and to builders’ merchants. Wood is highly versatile and the only construction material that is fully renewable.

Renewable energy

Holmen's energy production is dominated by renewable hydro power. Together with wind power and the renewable electrical energy that is produced at the Group’s mills, this equates to almost 50 per cent of Holmen’s overall energy consumption.
