About sawmilling and planing of wood

NACE code 16.11 covers the sawmilling and planing of wood, a crucial industry that transforms raw timber into a wide range of lumber products. This industry plays a vital role in the construction, furniture, and packaging sectors, providing essential materials for a variety of applications. As a key component of the forestry and wood processing value chain, the sawmilling and planing of wood industry contributes significantly to the overall economy.

Production process

The primary production techniques used in this industry involve the mechanical processing of logs and timber. This typically begins with the debarking and cutting of logs into various sizes and shapes using specialized sawmilling equipment. The resulting sawn wood is then further processed through planing, sanding, and other finishing steps to create the desired lumber products, such as boards, planks, and beams.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the sawmilling and planing of wood industry include raw timber, typically sourced from forestry operations 02.10 Silviculture and other forestry activities. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as saws, planers, and sanders, as well as energy sources, like electricity or fuel, to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the sawmilling and planing of wood industry are a diverse range of lumber products, including sawn wood, planed wood, and various wood profiles. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, such as 16.21 Manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels, 16.22 Manufacture of assembled parquet floors, 16.23 Manufacture of other builders' carpentry and joinery, and 31.01 Manufacture of office and shop furniture.
