Wood is a natural and renewable raw material with growing popularity worldwide. In sustainable forestry, the management and use of forests is ecologically, financially, socially, and culturally sustainable. Supply chains are traceable from wood products to forests, and production is located close to the raw material.
Raute is the partner to future-proof the wood industry. We combine Wood Processing, Analyzers and Services into innovative production solutions, powered by data and digital tools. This enables affordable and profitable manufacture of wood products with the most resource-efficient use of wood, chemicals, and energy. We partner with our customers to improve circular economy with modernization, end-of-use alternatives, and digitalization. With new service models, we drive the change in the wood industry and help our customers reach their climate targets.
Our customers manufacture long-lasting veneer, plywood, LVL and other engineered wood products. Good trackability guarantees product quality, safety and that it meets industry standards and certifications. High-quality engineered wood products also act as carbon storage. After their original life is over, they can be reused, recycled, or used as raw material in energy production. In the future, an increasing proportion of wood products will be recycled.
Veneer, plywood, LVL and other engineered wood products are used mainly in building construction and furniture-making as well as in transport vehicle and packaging industries. The use of different wooden structures and components is growing dramatically, especially in building construction. Renewability, recyclability, and eco-efficiency are sustainability trends that increase the demand for and use of wood products worldwide.
Sustainable business practices are crucial for creating longer-term shareholder value and financial stability. We aim to build sustainable growth through innovation and actions that contribute to circular economy. Simultaneously we focus on global optimization and efficiency and resilience of operations. Raute seeks to gain a competitive advantage by adopting a proactive compliance management approach that goes beyond the minimum requirements set by laws and regulations.
