Junnikkala
Growing strong
Located up north, grown long and strengthened of experience.
Junnikkala is one of the most modern factories in the mechanical wood processing industry in the world. Our company is a bit like our raw material; located up north, grown long and strengthened of experience.
For six decades, the know-how has been passed on from generation to generation, combined with courage and innovation, as well as large-scale investments. This has created a sustainable foundation for our operations in the 2020s as well. Our Finnish family-run business is taking the third generation; “Junnikkala Bros”, ie CEO Kalle and Veli-Matti as sales director, together with other top professionals in our company.
Junnikkala operates with the aim of reliable delivery and great flexibility of the services. We produce upto 360.000 m³ of different kinds of redwood and whitewood products in a year in Finland.
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.
