Sawmilling was the number one industry in Finland until the WWI boosted metal industry's nationwide importance, even if the country itself wasn't waging that war. There are still numerous sawmills operating here. Common for them is that they all more or less struggle at the edge of profitability in the country of high staff expenses and business of low margins. Many units have been ceased, some of them old, some big, some modern and some technically deprecated. These are our special interest.
