We develop new cutting edge materials based on wood. By getting back to basics and reinventing one of the first materials ever used, our vision is to provide innovative technologies and products that meet today’s need for a sustainable future. 

 The technologies we hold today span from lightweight cellulose foams to cellulose spheres, magnetic cellulose fibers, transparent wood and superhydrophobic surfaces. Our innovations originate from researchers connected to the Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC, Sweden), which is one of the leading wood science and engineering research centers in the world.

Bergvik Skog is one of the largest private landowners in Europe. In Sweden, we own 2.3 million hectares of land, mainly in central Sweden. In Latvia, we are the largest private forest owner with 0.1 million hectares of forest. The annual harvest volume is about 6 million m³sub. To ensure regrowth of forest after harvesting, Bergvik Skog owns three nurseries in the Counties of Värmland, Gästrikland and Dalarna. In total, the nurseries produce more than 55 million seedlings per year. Bergvik Skog supports the transition to increased share of renewable energy by developing wind farms and leasing out land for wind mills. Today there are 107wind mills on the company's land in Sweden. Bergvik Skog leases out land and water for hunting and fishing and provides land for quarry operations. Our real estate department manages more than 8 000 contractual leases. The company has about 100 employees, half of which are currently employed in the nurseries, 23 in the Latvian subsidaries, and the remaining 30 employees work at the head office in Falun.

We fight friction to move the world forward. 20% of all energy consumed is spent overcoming friction. At SKF, we’re constantly fighting that friction, to reduce energy waste and make the most of the resources we have. Since 1907, we’ve been making some of the world’s most innovative bearings, seals, lubrication systems to reduce friction. But we sell something bigger. Less friction means more energy saved. By seeking out and reducing friction, we’re making industry smarter, more competitive, and more energy efficient. And in collaboration with other forward-thinking companies, actually tackling some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Ultimately, helping to build a more sustainable future where we can all do more with less.

We are a privately-owned holding company that manages our assets as an active owner with a long-term ownership horizon. FAM is owned by the three largest Wallenberg Foundations – the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation, and the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation – via the holding company Wallenberg Investments AB. Our largest holdings include SKF, Stora Enso, Munters, IPCO, Kopparfors Skogar, Grand Group, Höganäs, Nefab, and Kivra.
