#4 The Karlstad Market Conference

Each year, the Elite Stadshotell in Karlstad, Sweden, is usually full this week, as Swedish and international colleagues from the wood industry come together to discuss the market situation for wood. For obvious reasons, we can’t meet up this year, but that is not going to stop us from discussing the state of the market, how coronavirus has affected our industry and what the future holds for wood. How has the industry handled the changes caused by the pandemic so far? Are there any long-term changes affecting exports and trade in the wood industry? Participant: Christian Nielsen , Market Analyst Swedish Forest Industres Federation, Johan Padel, CEO Holmen Timber, Fredrik Wallenstad, Marketing Director Moelven Timber, Mathias Fridholm, Director, Swedish Wood and the secret guest.
