Finland’s forestry and machinery professionals meet here

Proforest is an excellent meeting place for professionals in the forestry and machinery sectors to network, develop their businesses, build new partnerships, and do business.

Finland is a land of forests, and timber remains one of the country’s most important export products. Proforest offers valuable insight into this vital industry and provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of Finland’s forestry and machinery sectors. The program on the event stage features engaging panel discussions and presentations that explore the most topical issues shaping the industry today.

Around half of Finland’s forests are privately owned, making forestry a significant asset for many Finns. Managing this asset requires not only expertise but also reliable machinery and equipment capable of operating efficiently in a wide range of conditions.
