<\/p>\n
Austrian company HS Timber Group (previously known as Schweighofer) announced that it reached an agreement to sell its sawmill HS Timber Productions Sebes to the German Group Ziegler. <\/span>The contract was signed on April 14, 2023.<\/p>\n
The Austrian company said that its expansion in Romania was limited by the market regulator that set in 2016 a 30% cap on its purchase of national wood volumes per assortment. But the scarce imports of raw materials from Ukraine was another factor.<\/p>\n
Romania\u2019s wood processing industry has constantly contracted since 2016, reaching in the first two months of 2023 activity levels of under 50% of the 2015 average.<\/p>\n
The deal is expected to be completed in the middle of the year following regulatory approvals. The purchase price was not disclosed.<\/p>\n
HS Timber Productions Sebes is the first production unit owned by Schweighofer in Romania. HS Timber Group operates a sawmill, a blockboard plant and a post & beam production facility at other locations in Romania.
