WOOD<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Coillte is Ireland\u2019s largest producer of roundwood, the raw material that our sawmill and panel board\u00a0customers process into high quality timber and timber products.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sitka spruce is our main commercial tree species. Our annual production of\u00a0approximately 2.6 million cubic metres of roundwood generates revenue of\u00a0around \u20ac120 million.<\/p>\n

Our wood is FSC\u00ae<\/sup>\u00b9 (Forest Stewardship Council\u00ae<\/sup>) and PEFC\u2122 (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) certified and our key customers operate in sawmilling, wood based panels, animal bedding, biomass and firewood.<\/p>\n

Timber Sales<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We sell wood in a number of ways: standing in the forest, harvested to roadside for collection or delivered to our customers.<\/p>\n

We operate an innovative sales model with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • An annual allocation of 50% of our volume to our main sawmill customers based on past purchases<\/li>\n
  • A monthly auction of available volume to our sawmill customers<\/li>\n
  • Direct sales to biomass, wood based panels and bedding customers<\/li>\n
  • Local sales for certain products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    In Partnership\u00a0With Our Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    We sell wood\u00a0to our customers who process this wood into high quality timber, panel products and other wood products. \u00a0Much of\u00a0this wood is sold by our customers in the UK market. Irish sawmills export about 70% of their sawnwood product there, with its value of \u20ac120 million adding up to about 6% of UK market share.<\/p>\n

    Panel processors export more widely.\u00a0 More than 90% of this \u20ac200 million business is exported overseas.<\/p>\n

    Coillte is committed to supporting the growth of the Irish forest sector through our own annual sales, enabling our customers to grow their businesses\u00a0with 2016 being a record year for wood volume produced by Coillte.<\/p>\n
