Good rooms
Since 1899, Moelven has produced wagon wheels, barracks, houses, modules and wood-based products used to build new - and to renovate old - buildings.
When we look back, we see a wide range of products and services – but what do we see when we look ahead?
What products will Moelven be supplying next year, in five years or in 10 years? Well, we know that some products will still be with us in the long term – over the next 10 years for example. We can also be sure that completely new products will be developed in the years ahead that we cannot precisely predict today. In many ways, this is typical of Moelven:
The company takes on the responsibility for developing new products, and we are encouraged in this by customers and partners who are continuously faced with changing needs and new challenges. Although we may not know exactly what we will be producing in the future, we can confidently say this: regardless of materials and products, we will help customers build good rooms – indoors and outdoors!
Good rooms arise in close collaboration with customers, architects and designers, and Moelven supplies quality products that help create good rooms.
Our market is primarily in Scandinavia – this is where we harvest our raw materials and this is where we meet our customers. Although wood is a central element in the Scandinavian building tradition and in our production processes,
Moelven is not just about wood. Regardless of what we will be producing in the year 2017 or the year 2027, we will still be contributing to creating good rooms.
This is the foundation of our business – it is our mission.
Felling a tree frees space for many other important forest functions. Each tree harvested contributes to biodiversity, enriches local fauna and enhances sensible use of the forest as a recreational arena.
The Tautra monastery in Trøndelag was drawn by the architectural firm Jensen & Skodvin. Building materials from Moelven were used both as supporting structures and to clad indoor and outdoor surfaces. Wood helps give the monastery a feel of character and warmth, and large open surfaces help link the magnificent outdoor scenery with life and activities inside the monastery.
The water running through the radiators along the walls provides heat and comfort for the aging residents. In earlier times chippings and bark were waste products - now they can be used to generate heat in Moelven’s distance-heating facility at Moelven Årjäng Såg AB.
The main focus at the Buggeland Nursery School in Sandnes is running a healthy nursery school with an emphasis on nature, environment and physical activity. Light and friendly rooms made of wood and glass connect the indoor environment with the outdoor environment and make the nursery school into a fun and pleasant place to be.
This elegant estate was drawn by the well-known architect Gert Wingårdh in close collaboration with the owners. EkologiByggarne is the Swedish builder responsible for the building, and a significant amount of solid wood has been used both indoors and outdoors.
