Forest Industry

Finland lives from the forest, in the forest and is the forest. About 70 per cent of Finland is forest-covered. Every fifth Finn earns his or her livelihood from trees - directly or indirectly. One quarter of Finland's export revenue is derived from the forest industries. 90 per cent of the paper made in Finland and 70 per cent of the sawmill products are exported, mainly to Western Europe. The strategic economic importance of the forests has created a strong and comprehensive forest cluster. The term refers to a concentration of integrated know-how: The core products of the forest industry - pulp, paper, board and sawn goods - are supported by engineering workshops producing paper machines and logging equipment. Chemical enterprises produce the special chemicals needed by the forest industry. Research organisations and universities contribute their own valuable input to the cluster.
