BSW Latvia

“BSW Latvia” is situated on the outskirts of Riga. It is the first mill outside the United Kingdom for BSW and brings its total number of sawmills to seven. The mill is on a 35-hectare site that has been purpose built to accommodate state of the art sawmilling machinery. This site was specially chosen to allow for further expansion in the future. “BSW Latvia” was formed in 1999 following extensive research into other key timber supply markets such as Russia and Central & Eastern Europe. The investment of £12 million provides the “BSW Group” with a significantly wider product portfolio enhanced by products from the Latvian mill, which cannot be derived from UK Fibre. The foundations were laid in July 1999 and the mill was commissioned in May 2000. Annual output is 120,000 cubic meters of sawn timber. The mill is designed to cut long lengths of 3.0m up to a maximum of 6.0m. A huge amount of work has been involved in the recruitment and training of 170 employees to run the mill. BSW have taken great care to develop, train and establish a committed and skilled workforce in Latvia. The sawmill is designed to enhance the value of the Latvian fiber and long lengths through additional processing and professional marketing. Treatment tanks and kilns have been installed at the sawmill thus enabling the timber to be both treated and kiln-dried on site prior to despatch to customers. The material produced by BSW’s Latvian operation will be complimentary to the company’s UK production and will enable BSW Timber to improve the service it provides to its key customers in the UK. The Latvian operation gives BSW the capability to provide longer lengths and higher grades of timber, which will be of particular interest to the merchant sector and the growing garden products’ market sector.
