Tillverka i Trä

Tillverka i trä is a joint effort by the timber construction industry and the timber-based interior design industry. The project aims to harness the expertise that exists in production, automation and digital systems so that companies working with timber house construction, interior design and design can develop, with new solutions and smarter processes.

Multi-family housing construction in wood is increasing and in 2018 it accounted for almost 15% of all new multi-family housing construction. The wood trend is also visible in interior and furniture design. Wood is a natural and healthy material, and the benefits of using it are many. Above all, it is renewable and has a significant climate impact compared to traditional construction. At its core, the Tillverka i trä project is therefore an effort to reduce climate impact and promote a circular economy.

While there are good conditions, it is a challenge for both the industrial wood construction industry and the wood-based interior design industry to develop more efficient and demand-driven, industrialized production. It is in these areas that Tillverka i Trä will make a difference.

During the project period activities will take place together with industrial wood construction companies as well as interior design companies and designers specialized in wood. The aim and purpose of the whole project is to promote the development of companies towards a more design-oriented and industrialized manufacturing in wood, as well as to create new business opportunities for residual streams. By the end of the project, a solid foundation for a permanent competence center will have been laid, where both concrete networks with different competencies, as well as physical test and demo environments will be accommodated.
