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.
The PONSSE Scorpion Giant belonging to forest machine entrepreneur Mikko Kallinen is currently engaged in thinning a state forest in Suomussalmi. The first thinning in the area was performed around 15 years ago, and now it is time for the second thinning. This leaves the forest a little thinner than in Kallinen’s own region of North Karelia. The job is far from home but otherwise pleasant, as the forest floor is quite flat and free of stones and bushes, the forest roads are in excellent condition, and the area covers a reasonable size, so there is enough to cut for the harvester and forwarder all the way from August to November.
Few companies can say they take care of almost 10 percent of all forest harvesting in their home country. In the coming years, Latvian company SIA Grantini 1 will come very close to achieving a 10 percent share, as approximately 12 million cubic metres of forest is harvested annually in Latvia, and SIA Grantini 1 alone harvests approximately one million cubic metres. Latvia may be a small country, but it does have a lot of forests.
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.
