Experienced forestry contractor in a forest environment portrait

Long experience


The family’s work with forest and timber goes back to 1934, from grandfather Edvard’s water-powered sawmill to modern forestry contracting.

Today’s business grew through a partnership in 1981, the first forestry machine in 1988, and the limited company established in 1994.

Harvester and forwarder during thinning in Swedish forest

Machine fleet for harvesting


We work with our own machine fleet for harvesting: a thinning harvester suited for work inside the stand, a combi harvester, and a thinning forwarder.

This helps us adapt to stand conditions, ground bearing capacity, and assortments – with a controlled and efficient workflow.

Frequently asked questions

What does harvesting (drivning) mean?

In Swedish forestry, “drivning” refers to carrying out the harvesting operation: felling, processing, and moving timber within the stand to a landing by the forest road.

The setup depends on goals, ground conditions, and assortments.

Do you carry out thinning with machines that work inside the stand?

Yes. We work with thinning and use machines suited to working inside the stand.

The focus is controlled thinning where work method and machine choice match the stand’s conditions.

Do you also do final felling?

Yes, we also carry out final felling.

Planning is based on the job’s objectives, logistics, and practical conditions to keep the flow clear from harvest to landing.

What machines do you work with?

Our fleet includes, among others, Rottne H8 (thinning harvester), Rottne H11 (combi harvester), John Deere 810D (thinning forwarder), JCB 145 (excavator), Scania hooklift 4x8, and a Humbaur machinery trailer.

What does PEFC via EC Skog mean for customers?
