A COMPANY OF THE RIGHT WOOD! The companies Facilities Purchasing & Forest Raw Material Products Forest owners ATA's history ATA Group is a group of companies with a strong tradition and its roots deeply rooted in the Småland forest. We have been active for over 60 years and have built up a strong base in southern Sweden, where most of our suppliers and subcontractors are located. What makes the ATA Group unique can be found in how the company has been built up over the years. By retaining ownership within one and the same family, companies have built a reputation for being honest, straightforward and always keeping an open door. What has been most important is our strong belief in the future and by reinvesting in our facilities and constantly wanting to be better, we have succeeded in building a strong and secure organization that stands with its feet on the ground. We believe in the settlements where we operate and we wanted to help the local communities and above all our employees. It all started when Tage Andersson started his business in 1945 on the home property Hökaboda by installing a simple circular saw. Sawing was carried out at this location until 1959 when the equipment was moved to the place where the sawmill ATA Timber AB (Åboda) is located today. In 1969-1970, a new sawmill was built from the ground up after a fire in 1968 had completely destroyed the sawmill. Tage Andersson was one of the pioneers in sawing with double blades, which rationalized and made sawing less labor-intensive. In 1972, Tage Andersson acquired Ernst Hallrup, which today goes by the name ATA Timber AB (Moheda), and in 1978 Prästkvarn was acquired . At the end of the 1970s, the company invested in its first saw lines with reducer technology, which has characterized production until today, but today the reducer technology is refined and PLC is controlled with great precision and efficiency. In 1985, the sawmill in Eneryda was also purchased, which became ATA Timber Eneryda AB, and in 1987 a new line of business was added through the acquisition of Munksjö's closed pulp mill in Vaggeryd. An entirely new CTMP mechanical pulp industry was built there, in existing premises. Waggeryd Cell AB is today recognized as one of the world's most efficient pulp mills. During the 1990s, the ATA Timber Group focused on investing heavily in its facilities and creating strong relationships with suppliers in southern Sweden and customers worldwide. This has resulted in one of the most modern and efficient sawmill groups operating today. In recent years, ATA Timber has acquired additional companies for the Group. We have expanded to Skåne by acquiring the long-established Widtsköfle Sawmill and also the well-established purchasing company Värendsskog AB, which operates in the Uppvidinge area and the surrounding area. In 2011, the ATA Timber Group also took a new big step by becoming a major owner of the traditional listed company Bergs Timber . We believe in a bright future!
