Society's need for gravel and ballast material
Gravel and ballast material are essential for all aspects of social development, including new construction and the maintenance of buildings, roads, and railways. The demand for gravel is significant, and it is crucial that its production is carried out in a sustainable and circular manner.
As a major landowner, Holmen believes it has a responsibility to contribute to this effort to meet local and regional needs. We can identify sites that meet both the high standards for land use and the appropriate geological conditions.
Holmen's quarries
Holmen develops and operates quarries, as well as mass handling nodes, which include the reception and handling of materials from construction and road works carried out on Holmen's own land holdings. These quarries are intended for use by actors in central towns, major projects, and on our own land where we conduct forestry.
Holmen currently operates around 40 facilities across the country, providing gravel and ballast materials needed for the local and regional market. We also have several development projects underway, at various stages.
