The massive worldwide paper industry accounts for tremendous demand
of raw materials, including woodchips (hard and soft wood), whose
suppliers are dwindling each year.
Environmental concerns challenge existing wood cutting and lumber
practices from historical production sites, which has resulted in
a worldwide search for new supplies by the paper industry. Venro established
itself as a woodchip supplier in 1991 and relies on suppliers that
abide by existing environmental regulations.
