Welcome to Gettjärns Skogsprodukter AB
We are a forestry company with roots in forest and timber since 1934. With long experience, the right machines, and respect for long-term forest value, we deliver structured and dependable harvesting services in Värmland.
Long experience
The family’s work with forest and timber goes back to 1934, from grandfather Edvard’s water-powered sawmill to modern forestry contracting.
Today’s business grew through a partnership in 1981, the first forestry machine in 1988, and the limited company established in 1994.
Machine fleet for harvesting
We work with our own machine fleet for harvesting: a thinning harvester suited for work inside the stand, a combi harvester, and a thinning forwarder.
This helps us adapt to stand conditions, ground bearing capacity, and assortments – with a controlled and efficient workflow.
PEFC via EC Skog
We are contractor certified via EC Skog and work in line with PEFC.
This means the work is guided by clear requirements for competence, routines, and consideration – supporting structured, traceable, and responsible operations.
For Värmland’s forests
We enjoy working where we operate – in the forests of Värmland. It shows in our approach: tidy landings, clear communication, and routines that respect long-term forest value.
The goal is a result both landowners and future generations can feel good about.
Machine fleet
Equipment and working methods from forestry contracting, thinning, felling, forwarding, machine transport and forest road maintenance.
Machine transport with Scania and Humbaur. The Rottne H8 harvester and John Deere 810D forwarder are moved efficiently between thinning, felling and forwarding assignments.
Experienced forestry equipment. The John Deere 810D forwarder and Rottne H8 harvester support careful thinning, forwarding and controlled timber logistics.
John Deere 810D with heavy timber. This load includes a 41-metre spruce with a volume of 9.3 m3fub, solid cubic metres under bark, handled with stability and clear logistics.
JCB 145 excavator. The 80 cm wide tracks provide stability and bearing capacity for excavation, ground works and forest road jobs.
Gesab scraper for forest roads. The scraper is used to level the road behind us when needed, especially where tracks and road surfaces need smoothing.
Road maintenance after forestry work. The Gesab scraper helps smooth access roads after forwarding and machine transport when the surface needs attention.
Rottne H11 harvester. The latest investment in the fleet adds capacity for efficient harvesting, thinning and final felling with modern harvester technology.
