The first phase of the Panel Industry investment program of Koskisen was completed at the end of December 2025.
The investments in the first phase of the program focused on improving log handling and on automating veneer drying, coating and panel handling. All investments carried out during 2025 have now been successfully commissioned. The total value of the investments carried out was approximately EUR 12 million.
The Panel Industry investment program for the years 2025–2027 will enable volume growth, streamline production and facilitate the associated internal logistics. The investments to be implemented also include automation of production stages. As a result of the program, plywood production capacity will increase from the current 65,000 m³ to 85,000 m³.
