Job Report
L 580 2plus2 LogHandler wheel loader in operation at the Holzindustrie Schweighofer sawmill in Sebes, Romania
Situation and Task
The Austrian family of Schweighofer has been financially involved with wood as a production material for more than 360 years. Tradition, the spirit of innovation, the readiness to take calculated risks, and the courage to take on new markets, are the strong cornerstones of the company known as Holzindustrie Schweighofer. Today, in addition to the head office in Vienna, there are four production facilities in Romania, as well as branches in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Ukraine which belong to the company.
Four plants have been established or acquired in Romania since 2002, which ensure jobs for approximately 2,000 employees. Additionally, 11,000 hectares of woodlands and 5,000 hectares of agricultural land are under the company’s management. Every year a total of ca. 2.15 million solid cubic metres of round timber are cut, dried, and planed at both sawmills at Sebes and Radauti, which corresponds to approximately 14 million units or 45.5 million running metres of round timber.
Solid wood panels, coreboards, large-format formwork panels and finger-joint elements are manufactured at the plants at Siret and Comanesti. The remaining wood is further processed to become briquettes and pellets. In addition to this, at the Sebes and Radauti facilities there are three environmentally-friendly biomass power plants in operation, which together generate a total of 15.8 MW/h of “green electricity”.
As a replacement investment for the existing HighLifters, following an extensive selection process, two new Liebherr L 580 2plus2 LogHandler wheel loaders have been acquired for the round timber yard at the Sebes mill.
