MyForestValley.com is a new global portal that gathers information on various suppliers for machinery, equipment and services by the Finnish forestry, mechanical wood processing, pulp and paper, packaging and printing industries. The site presents visitors with selected companies and the proper contact personnel.

With the help of the virtual assistant Louhi, you can send questions directly to the companies' experts through the portal. You will be able to save and gather all the information acquired onto My Contacts , where it's possible to both browse and delete information. Or view the most frequently asked questions to see what other visitors have asked.

Want to know what's going on in the pulp, paper, printing and packaging industries? Click on News & Events for the latest and greatest news to date, from a new film transfer station to economical wood handling. Or visit Vision for the Week to get an industry company's opinions and views of what's new or what's not.

With 65 companies currently sponsoring this site, each company can be found by clicking on Participating companies. Listed in alphabetical order, each company has a Contact Details button where you can send that company an e-mail. You can also save the information of that company contact by clicking on the Save Contact button.
