this is Ekman
the best solutions for your needs
As one of the world’s oldest trading houses, Ekman is a prime example of the truth in this statement. Through the centuries, we have not just reacted to the changing conditions of our often volatile markets, but we excelled at finding opportunity and advantage in what others have often seen as turmoil. The global market for forest products represents just such a situation. Ekman always aims to meet the changing market demands and is continuously adapting our organization and resources to match the global situation and the shifting balance of the markets we work in. We take these measures from a position of financial and strategic strength, reacting to certain evolutionary trends and anticipating others. The result of this continuous process is a flexible and dedicated organization. However, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Even though our business and markets may change in the future, Ekman will always stay true to our mission: to add value to the supply chain for forest related products worldwide. A recipe that has proved successful for many years. Jan Svensson, President and CEO
