Holmen grows houses

Our business rests on the power of the forests. It focuses on how we can intelligently use technology and engineering to create the fossil-free, recyclable products the world needs.

We make renewables work

Our efficient forestry, focusing on high growth and biodiversity conservation, creates value for everyone from customers and shareholders to local communities. Based on our large forest holdings, we use forest raw materials in a way that helps phase out the need for fossil-based raw materials. The wood is processed into wood products for sustainable building. We then turn whatever is left over into paperboard of world-leading quality and innovative paper products. In addition, we use the water rushing down the rivers and the wind blowing over the trees to produce renewable energy.

Our employees

Around 3,500 employees in 13 countries contribute to Holmen's continuous development every day. 2,500 of our employees are located in Sweden.
In the same way that we are part of the entire forest cycle from plant to plank, we also have a wide range of different professional roles, such as forest and foresters, engineers, operators, project managers, salespeople and more.
Our corporate culture is characterized by courage, commitment and responsibility, which gives our employees great opportunities to influence, develop and grow.
Our decentralised organisation means fast decision-making processes and short distances from idea to implementation.
We recruit according to a competency-based methodology that helps us bring in employees who represent a diversity of insights, experiences and cultures.
