Business Units
FOREST PURCHASE/HARVESTING
We offer an excellent option to commercialize the wood from your forests.
LOGISTICS: LAND TRANSPORTATION
Urcel has two large and important log transport chains: trucks and trains, all of them specially adapted for this purpose.
LOGISTICS: STOCKPILING
Stockpiles are critical to the effectiveness of the bulk roundwood export industry.
LOGISTICS: PORT OPERATOR
The loading of bulk log vessels is a key element, as they have a high daily cost. Fast and efficient loading operations are of vital importance.
EXPORTS & SHIPPING
For several years now, URCEL has chartered ships for the export of roundwood in bulk to the Asian market.
Health, Safety and Environment
We are convinced that great health, safety and environmental performance and a successful business go hand in hand.
