Moelven

Scandinavia’s Only Plywood Producer

Moelven Vänerply AB is Scandinavia’s only plywood producer, located in Otterbäcken on the eastern shore of Lake Vänern.
Here, plywood is produced from spruce with minor elements of pine, and the factory has a capacity of approximately 110,000 m³ per year.

At Moelven Vänerply, 150 employees work together, and since 1961, logs have been spun—well, yes, logs—to make the most of this renewable raw material and create world-class panels every day. With a focus on community and job satisfaction, development continues to move forward.

Big investments are being made! A new energy plant is being built, creating new opportunities to supply energy from our own residual materials. This is to ensure that, as Scandinavia’s only plywood factory, we are prepared for growth and ready to meet tomorrow’s safety and emission standards.
The investment amounts to 186 million SEK, and the new energy facility is expected to be completed in late autumn 2026.

In addition, new fossil-free adhesive alternatives are being tested, with continued focus on lignin-based glue*.
A tree consists of 20–30 percent lignin. It functions as a kind of binder that holds the fibers together. For a long time, lignin was considered a byproduct in paper and pulp production and was largely used for combustion. However, many years of research have now revealed new opportunities with lignin, and its areas of application are numerous!

  • Lignin is found in all plant cell walls. It is the "glue" that binds fibers and provides strength—the more lignin, the harder the plant.

In Hässleholm, you’ll find Moelven Wood’s distribution warehouse and processing unit for sheet materials. There, expertise and sheet materials are tailored to meet demanding industrial users across various sectors. The strongest segments are sheet materials for packaging, vehicle body building, house construction, and carpentry/interior design. Moelven Wood Industri has its sales office in Malmö. Through local connections and nearby warehouses, customer relations are strengthened with high service levels and knowledge, where the availability of Scandinavian-produced sheet materials is highly valued by customers.
