In July, it was reported that Vida had entered into an agreement to acquire AB Karl Hedin S\u00e5gverk in Karbenning, Krylbo and S\u00e4ter. The deal was completed yesterday, September 17, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n ''We are pleased that the deal is now complete and that we can welcome three new sawmills to the Vida Group. The sawmills will be a great complement to our twelve existing sawmills. Vida's vision is \"To grow\" and through the acquisition we are establishing ourselves in a new geography and further strengthening our competitiveness,'' says M\u00e5ns Johansson, CEO of Vida AB.<\/span><\/p>\n The sawmills currently produce approximately 550,000 cubic meters annually, and after the acquisition, Vida will have an annual production capacity of 3.3 million cubic meters. Vida's future production capacity and the sawmills' specialization will allow Vida to further improve its offering to the finished goods market and be an attractive supplier of sawn wood products.<\/span><\/p>\n The newly acquired assets comprise seven sawmills and one pressure treatment plant, employing 135 people across operations. Strategically located in the Baltic Sea region, the facilities provide logistical access to key European markets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5204],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
