Södra has entered into an agreement on timber transportation with transport company VSV Frakt AB. This will make VSV a significant supplier of transportation services within Södra's Region East.
This agreement takes the form of a strategic partnership, which means - among other things - that the scope of transportation will be given the opportunity to grow over time. Operations will commence within Södra's Linköping Business Area in August 2010.
Södra expects to have a turnover of around SEK 650 million this year from transportation of round timber. This transportation will be carried out both by the company's own haulage firm, as well as in coop with external suppliers, which will be providing the lion's share of the transportation.
VSV specialises in the shipping of forest raw materials. The company's head office is in Karlstad, and last year it had a turnover of SEK 795 million.
