Raute Reference: Metsä Group, Finland has evolved LVL industry since 1970s with Raute on their side

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product used in a diverse range of building and bridge construction applications. LVL beams, columns, and panels have become established as essential components in modern timber construction due to their numerous advantages, versatility, and proven structural performance. LVL is also used in smaller structural applications like furniture, doors, and windows. The use of LVL has steadily been growing since the 1970s. It was initially developed because it was an extremely efficient and sustainable material, having uniform quality and very little wood material going to waste. It has seen a resurgence in popularity as an environmentally friendly, yet reliable alternative to steel and concrete. Metsä Wood's Punkaharju mill in Finland produces Kerto LVL products and plywood. The production capacity of Punkaharju’s Kerto LVL mill is 180 000 m3 a year. The production of laminated veneer lumber started in 2001, and today the mill employs 200 people. Kerto® LVL is structural laminated veneer lumber used in all construction projects, from new buildings to renovation and repair. Kerto LVL combines excellent technical performance with ease of use. Its essential qualities include strength and rigidity, dimensional stability, and lightweight. Eero Lampola, Project Director Kerto® at Metsä Wood describes cooperation as followed: "Raute has a long history in the wood industry and a strong reputation in the LVL business. We have a well-established partnership with Raute, following other lines that Raute has successfully delivered to Metsä.
