en.Wedoany.com Reported - Honkarakenne Oyj and OnWood Oy have launched a strategic partnership to jointly produce fully finished log buildings, aiming to accelerate the development of industrial timber construction, enhance the efficiency of public and commercial building projects, and expand into international markets.
Under the signed strategic cooperation agreement, the first transactions have been completed, involving the delivery of over 100 fully finished log buildings to Western Europe from autumn 2026 to early 2027. This transaction has been incorporated into Honkarakenne's revenue and operating profit guidance for 2026.
In this collaboration, Honkarakenne is responsible for architectural design and the supply of log components, while OnWood carries out approximately 90% of the building's interior manufacturing at its own production facilities, leaving only final assembly and finishing work for the site. Prefabrication in a controlled factory environment ensures high quality, and the finished buildings can be delivered cost-effectively in a single transport, while reducing on-site construction time, associated costs, and minimizing noise and environmental disruption.
Markus Saarelainen, Head of B2B Sales at Honkarakenne, stated that combining OnWood's over 25 years of experience in industrial timber construction and fully finished solutions with Honka's non-settling log technology allows both parties to create more ambitious and higher-performance end products. Miikka Vainio, CEO of OnWood, noted that the Honka brand is internationally renowned and highly respected, which will strongly support OnWood's international expansion and jointly attract significant log building projects both domestically and abroad.
Currently, Honkarakenne and OnWood are advancing several fully finished log building projects in Finland and export markets. Honkarakenne Oyj, under the Honka brand, manufactures log homes, vacation houses, and public buildings using Finnish solid wood, having delivered 90,000 buildings to over 50 countries; product kits are manufactured at its own factory in Karstula, Finland. In 2025, the company's group revenue was €37.2 million, with exports accounting for 25%.
