About us

Unique timber

Thanks to the long and cold winters and short, bright summers in the Scandinavian Taiga of the European coniferous forest area in Finland, Finnish pine and spruce are slow growing resulting in very strong and durable timber for redwood and whitewood products.

The conifer that Junnikkala is processing makes it one of the strongest coniferous material in the world. There are several reasons for the exceptional length and strength of the fiber in the wood. The most important thing is probably the optimal, northern location of the area where Junnikkala is operating. However, along the northern latitude and the longitude of the Junnikkala harvesting area has also its positive effect on the wood; the former seabed is an excellent soil for conifers and the proximity to the sea keeps the snow loads of the trees reasonable.

Sawn timber with dimensional accuracy

A first-class end product of sawn timber can’t be created without top-quality raw material. And that’s what we produce.

The durability of our products comes from the high quality features of the Finnish wood. It has a high density of the grain and a thick portion of heartwood. Junnikkala products are made of possibly the strongest wood in the World.

In addition to durability, our products are characterized by dimensional accuracy and a high level of finish.
