On 1 January 2019, Derome Aktiebolag in Veddige, Sweden, 50 km air-line distance south of Göteborg, became a new partner of EUROBAUSTOFF Handelsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, Bad Nauheim.

“We look forward to our new partner who plays a leading role in South and Central Sweden,” said Dr. Eckard Kern, Chairman of the Executive Board of EUROBAUSTOFF, to the press. “Derome is a corporate group which specialises in the building material of wood from reforestation right through to the finished house. This is a new experience for us which will bring us additional expertise.”

The Derome Group is Sweden’s biggest family-managed wood processing as well as wood trading company. The company operates an intensive trade with wood and other building materials at more than forty sites across Sweden. The Scandinavian group therefore also wanted a strong European wood trading partner for this company sector.

It is only in recent years that the company has made major investments in its trading activities. Last year, for example, Derome took over the building material merchant IMAB Industrihandel with two branches (Halmstad, Helsingborg) and the building material chain Bygg-Aktiv Material with twelve branches in the south Swedish provinces Skane, Blekinge and Smaland. 40 % of external sales is generated by trading activities with 7.5 billion SEK (725 million EUR) expected for 2018.

Derome was established in 1946 by Karl Andersson and is today managed by his grandsons Magnus and Per Andersson. Many other family members as well as more than 2,000 employees work in the different plants. This also includes five sawmills, wood impregnating facilities and production sites for pellets, pre-fabricated buildings as well as roof timbering. The latter are not only produced in Sweden but also in Norway and Germany.

Alongside the production of composite lumber, bioenergy and packaging material, the company also operates extensive export business mainly for sawn timber.
