Ever since Holmen's acquisition of Martinsons, the work of merging the companies has been ongoing. On 1 June, the production facilities in Bygdsiljum and Kroksjön, Sweden, will fully take on the Holmen name, while Martinsons Building Systems will retain the Martinsons brand.

“Martinsons and Holmen have many things in common and the fact that we are ready to gather around a shared brand shows how well the merger of our two operations has gone,” says Johan Padel, Holmen’s Senior Vice President Wood Products.

With Martinsons Building Systems´ offering, the processing of wood from Holmen´s forests now extend all the way to advanced wooden house construction. Martinsons Building Systems will as part of Holmen continue to use Martinson's brand, as it is strongly established in the Swedish construction market.

As early as October 1, Martinson's forest workers became part of Holmen Forest and from January 1, 2021, all products produced at the Group's five facilities in Bygdsiljum, Kroksjön, Iggesund, Braviken and Linghem have been sold under the Holmen name and dispatched in Holmen branded packaging.
