- Holmen AB (publ) (HLMNY) owns and manages forest land in Sweden and produces renewable wood products, paperboard, paper, and energy. The company refines timber from its 1.2 million hectares of productive forest land into sawn and processed wood products including construction timber, planed wood for joinery, glulam, cross-laminated timber (CLT), and customized solutions for large-scale climate-smart wood construction via subsidiary Martinsons; premium paperboard such as Invercote for packaging and graphical applications; book papers and magazine papers; logs, biofuel; and renewable electricity from hydro power and wind farms including Blåbergsliden (operational since 2022, 1.8 TWh annual capacity). Holmen operates five modern sawmills (Braviken, Iggesund, Linghem, and others), paperboard and paper mills, and energy facilities primarily in Sweden, with sales offices in the United States, Australia, and Asia targeting builders' merchants, construction firms, packaging converters, publishers, and energy-intensive industries. Founded in 1609 and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Holmen maintains a circular business model emphasizing fossil-free production, biodiversity conservation, and chain-of-custody certified sustainable forestry. Recent developments include a November 2025 European Investment Bank loan of SEK 1.1 billion (EUR 100 million) to expand onshore wind power capacity in northern Sweden; an ongoing SEK 1 billion investment to increase Iggesund Sawmill capacity by 20% and ramp up glulam/CLT production; share buyback program initiated November 2025 for up to 1 million Class B shares to optimize capital structure ahead of the 2026 AGM; and a corporate PPA for renewable energy supply to support its paper and board operations.
