Mike Jeffree asked Dr Mila Duncheva, Stora Enso’s Building Solutions business development manager, UK & Ireland, about its ambitions for timber-based construction


MIKE JEFFREE (MJ): STORA ENSO HAS A HISTORIC REPUTATION AS A TIMBER AND FOREST PRODUCTS SUPPLIER. TO WHAT EXTENT DOES IT NOW SEE ITSELF ALSO AS A TIMBER-BASED BUILDINGS SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS AND TOOLS PROVIDER?


Dr Mila Duncheva (MD): Stora Enso is a large corporation with a wide range of renewable solutions that encompasses everything from packaging to biomaterials. And, as you say, we are one of the largest forest owners globally, which sits at the centre of our business. Here we’re talking about our Wood Products division – Europe’s largest sawn timber supplier and specifically the team I sit in, which is Building Solutions, where we are the world’s largest CLT manufacturer in the built environment.” We’ve been making CLT since 2008 so we have long been a leading provider of wood construction solutions and a pioneer of the associated technological development. ►
