How far is Iisalmi from Hotel Hilton in Mogliano in Italy, or
Pretoria University campus in South Africa?
If you were to ask someone working with Thermowood
in Soinlahti, not very far at all. Depends on which route
you're taking, they’d say.
Located in Soinlahti in Iisalmi, Lunawood is not only the
world’s largest Thermowood producer, but also an innovative pioneer and international market leader. “We use
heat and steam to treat Finnish pine and spruce to make
it last where ordinary timber wouldn't stand a chance,”
says Saara Kettunen from Lunawood.
Wood treated by Lunawood is shipped from Iisalmi to
more than sixty countries across the globe.
Thermowood has a great deal of end uses, but they all
are all environmentally friendly applications of timber
construction.
Lunawood Thermowood features in Hotel Hilton’s facade
in Mogliano, a town located an hour's drive from Venice.
In Pretoria, the new university campus has been finished
with Thermowood pine solar shades.
Other projects include hotels in Belek, Turkey, and Pattaya, Thailand, floating luxury villas in Dubai and a healthcare and day care centre in Kaskinen.
Having started from nothing in 2002, Lunawood had become a global market leader in ten years.
In Finland, this growth enterprise employs people in its
production plants in Iisalmi, Kaskinen and Joensuu, and
has more than a hundred employees at its headquarters
in Lahti.
“Lunawood people are extremely committed to and passionate about their work. We take a lot of pride in our
Thermowood.”
