HISTORY

The Perpetual Motion of Iisveden – 100 Years of Iisveden Metsä

In the history of Iisveden Metsä, a quarter is 25 years. It has been customary to present the company’s history in book form every 25 years. Now, in the 100th anniversary year, it is again time to review the company’s quite colourful history. The chronicle written by Antti Äijö insightfully recounts the company’s journey from the very beginning, and includes plenty of delightful memories and anecdotes from over the years.

Iisveden Metsä Oy was founded by local forest owners in 1924. The aim was to create industrial use for the timber growing in local forests. Today, amost 100 years after its founding, the ownership and basic values of the company remain the same. We still create wellbeing and prosperity to our local community and for the neighboring areas. Iisveden is one of the oldest sawmills in Finland still running under the same ownership and under its original name.

Our production technology has developed remarkably during the last decades. An investment program started in the 1990’s has kept the machinery up to date and has guaranteed the competitiveness of our production.Our annual production has tripled during these years. However, our basic principles have not changed: we process high-quality spruce for demanding end uses. Our customer relations are long-lasting and tight. We will always act in a responsible and dependable manner, be it raw material procurement, production of sawn timber or shipping of ready material – just like we have done for almost a 100 years.
