• The importance of wood

  Wood is a strategic raw material and, along with water, our only naturally renewable resource. Slovenia has an abundance of it, with sufficient quantity and quality of raw materials for the domestic wood processing industry.

• From log to product

  The manufacture of wood products is an important activity in terms of development, job creation and economic strengthening. The wood chain is divided into areas in which logs are processed into products. The activities carried out during each stage of manufacture require certain know-how and consideration of wood’s characteristics.

• Trends in the wood industry and State co-funded operations

  Adapting to new trends and customers is a must in the wood supply chain. We need to identify what the general public needs and what we can offer them. We encourage creative work and help with the integration of a new product by co-funding the purchase of new machinery and equipment.

• Basic standards in the wood industry

  The success of the wood supply chain depends on the adaptation of each organisation to customer demands and future living trends of living. The production and supply of quality products and services requires knowledge, adherence to standards and certifications. Product safety throughout its lifetime is also of vital importance for users.
