Products

The pine and spruce growing in the harsh Nordic conditions are incredibly durable and tight-grained. The Kainuu region is home to the finest Nordic wood, and the raw material used at Kuhmo Oy comes from local sustainably managed forests. We make every effort to minimise waste and offcut in our production processes, and ensure that any by-products are recovered for further use in optimal applications.

Kuhmo Oy’s sawn timber is strong and sturdy, just like the king of the Finnish forests: the brown bear, or Ursus arctos in Latin. This likeness inspired us to use URSUS as the shipping mark for our products.

URSUS products are manufactured at our modernised, state-of-the-art production facilities located in Kuhmo, in the heart of the Kainuu region.

We manufacture a wide range of high-quality products for the packaging and construction industries, the carpentry and furniture industries, and the construction and prefabricated home industries.
