Martinsons transforms the northern Swedish forest into innovative components and ready-to-use solutions which add value and contribute to an increase in the use of wood. The Martinson group boasts Europe’s most modern sawmill, constitutes Sweden’s largest producer of glulam and cross-laminated timber, and is the Nordic leader in wooden bridges and building systems using solid wooden frames.
The slow-growing spruce and pine forests in the region provide sawn timber with high quality and good construction characteristics. The long winters create dense annual rings which make the timber hard, form stable and resistant.
Glulam
In relation to its own weight, glulam has a higher load-carrying capacity than both steel and concrete, making it an ideal material for creating buildings with great bearing length and open spaces. At the same time, it is easy to manipulate with hand-held tools when cutting holes and notches. Thanks to its great qualities, glulam is an icreasingly popular alternative when choosing construction materials, both in Sweden and globally.
