Forests need thinning to feel well. Thinning secures proper growth, value growth and health of the forest. Ponsse specialises in the cut-to-length forest machines, in which stems are already cut for different purposes in the forest. The method plays an important part in responsible forestry.
Ponsse is constantly improving working comfort and ergonomics for forest machine operators. Solutions and the world’s best forest machines are developed with operators and customers. The upgraded PONSSE Wisent and Elk forwarders, the new PONSSE Armrests and eArmrests, and the Active Cabin suspension system, now available as an option for PONSSE Wisent and Elk, improve the operator’s working comfort and productivity even further.
Trees in the forest – from planting to harvesting – are just one of the activities at Wald Jacob. In addition, the company produces 25 hectares of Christmas trees. The family also organises a large Christmas market every year in December.
Ponsse will demonstrate new solutions at the FinnMETKO 2024 exhibition in Jämsä that support the daily activities of forest machine operators and help forest machine entrepreneurs monitor the profitability and productivity of their fleet. Ponsse’s new forwarders Elk and Wisend and H7 harvester heads will be showcased at the event for the first time.
Lithuania is not a particularly large forestry country. Only about 6–7 million cubic metres of wood are harvested each year. There are also no pulp mills in the country, so its fibre wood is exported. On the other hand, the domestic sawmill industry is strong, and small wood is used a lot in the production of bioenergy.
According to a survey conducted by the Finnish Shareholders’ Association, the Finnish Foundation for Share Promotion and T‑Media, the most reputable listed company in 2024 is Ponsse. The survey evaluated the reputation of 80 listed companies in the eyes of Finnish private investors. Ponsse is the only company in the survey to achieve an excellent reputation.
