AB Hilmer Andersson - a family tradition

AB Hilmer Andersson was established in the 1920s when Hilmer Andersson from Lässerud built his first sawmill. The saw blades were powered by a wood fuelled locomobile. Hilmer lived long enough to witness the emergence of the barking machine, forklift trucks and the timber drier. During his life the sawmill developed into one of the largest in Värmland.

His son, Yngve Andersson, modernised the sawmill in several stages and doubled the capacity of the sawmill more then once.

Well known for his deep interest in all things technical, Yngve experienced the computerisation of the sawmill industry and was always among the first to adopt new technical solutions. He predicted the importance of computerisation in forest management at an early stage.

The company is today run by Hilmer's grandson Per Andersson who is the third managing director of the family company. It is now his task to carry on traditions and to lead and develop the family concern. His duties include that of company sales manager in charge of all exports and customer contact.
