The timber industry is sounding the alarm that the Polish timber market is in crisis

👉 Due to horrendously high timber sale prices, companies are cutting back on production operations and in some cases closing down

👉The Polish Economic Chamber of the Timber Industry (PIGPD) and seven others are appealing to the Prime Minister in the wake of the crisis. According to the letter's authors, many smaller companies are completely out of orders, which puts them on the brink of bankruptcy.

👉Jedna z firm z gminy Olecko zgłosiła w związku z tym upadłość, a pracę straciło 260 osób. Przedstawiciele branży mówią, że wiele firm zredukowało tydzień pracy do czterech dni lub zmniejszyło system zmian do jednej.

👉The industry points out that the current margins and timber prices will result in massive layoffs, which creates a considerable social problem. Production of indigenous products has also declined. In six months, the production of paper and cardboard fell by 12 per cent, wood-based panels and furniture by 30 per cent, pallets by 25 per cent, flooring, windows and doors by 35 per cent, sawn timber by 29-43 per cent, garden furniture by 45 per cent.
