Sawmilling and planing of wood

NACE v2.0 Code: C16.10

About sawmilling and planing of wood

NACE code 16.10 covers the sawmilling and planing of wood, a crucial industry that transforms raw timber into a wide range of essential wood products. This industry plays a vital role in the construction, furniture, and packaging sectors, providing the fundamental materials that enable the creation of buildings, furniture, and a host of other wood-based goods. As a key component of the forestry and wood processing value chain, the sawmilling and planing of wood industry is a significant contributor to many national and regional economies.

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 rough sawn timber using large industrial saws. The sawn timber is then further processed through planing, sanding, and trimming operations to produce finished wood products in various sizes and shapes. Advanced technologies such as computer-controlled saws and optimized material handling systems help to improve efficiency and product quality throughout the production process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the sawmilling and planing of wood industry include raw timber logs, which are typically sourced from 02.10 Silviculture and other forestry activities or 02.20 Logging. Other key inputs include specialized woodworking machinery, such as industrial saws, planers, and sanders, as well as consumable supplies like lubricants, abrasives, and cutting tools. Energy sources, such as electricity or diesel fuel, are also essential for powering the production equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the sawmilling and planing of wood industry include sawn timber, planed wood, and a variety of other processed wood products. These outputs are then consumed by a range of other industries, including 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. The industry also generates various by-products, such as wood chips and sawdust, which can be used for energy production or as raw materials in other industries.
