We source raw materials as close to our production plants as possible in order to minimise the transport distances. In Finland, our wood sourcing activities are focused on the North Karelia, North Savo and Kainuu regions. Scanpole's own wood sourcing experts are in charge of wood sourcing operations.
In Norway, the wood raw material used at the Ilseng and Kirkenær plants is sourced from the counties of Akershus, Buskerud, Innlandet, Telemark, Vestfold and Vestaland.
