The Swedish forestry industry joins forces in a unique project to be able to conduct a more gentle forestry. Billerud, Komatsu Forest and the entire forestry industry are jointly investigating the possibility of developing a machine that, with low ground pressure, provides less ground impact in the forest and better operator comfort.

The Board of Billerud has appointed Ivar Vatne to be the President and CEO of Billerud. Ivar Vatne has been acting President and CEO since July 2023 and enters the permanent position with immediate effect.

Today’s consumers are very aware of the environmental impact of what they buy and how it is packaged. At the same time, national governments and international authorities in markets around the world are taking significant steps to introduce regulations to reduce plastic packaging waste. The result: increased pressure on brands and retailers to swap to more eco-friendly packaging materials.
