Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget SCA (publ) is a Sweden-based forest products company that manages one of Europe’s largest private forest estates. Its operations encompass the cultivation, harvesting and sustainable management of forest land, alongside the production of market-grade pulp, sawn timber, solid-wood products and containerboard packaging solutions. The company’s integrated value chain leverages renewable raw materials to supply a broad array of industries, from paper and packaging to construction and furniture manufacturing.
Originally founded in 1929, SCA has evolved through strategic restructurings and a focus on core forest-based activities. In 2017 the company completed the demerger of its hygiene and health business (now Essity), enabling SCA to concentrate exclusively on forest products and bio-based materials. This refocused strategy has strengthened its position in the pulp and paper market and underpinned investments in modern sawmills and packaging facilities.
SCA’s product portfolio includes fully recyclable containerboard, high-quality pulp for specialty and graphic applications, dimensionally stable sawn timber and engineered wood components. The company emphasizes innovation in bio-refinery processes and the development of sustainable packaging solutions designed to reduce environmental impact. Its operations are certified under recognised forestry management and chain-of-custody standards, reflecting a long-standing commitment to responsible resource stewardship.
Headquartered in Sundsvall, Sweden, SCA serves industrial customers across Europe and maintains a global pulp distribution network reaching Asia and North America. The company is guided by an experienced management team with deep expertise in forestry, manufacturing and sustainability, supported by a board of directors drawn from international business and environmental sectors.
