Lines & Machines
Lines
There is always a "fit-to-your-need" line from Raute's own offering for any and all production processes starting from log handling, running through veneer production to plywood, LVL, or solid wood panels.
Machines
The core of production lines is made of machines. Many of Raute’s machines can be installed into existing lines as modernizations, also to other brand but Raute lines.
Analyzers
Making the most out of your raw material is made possible by modern analyzing systems. Intelligent analyzers make the right decisions at right time. Raute offers a wide variety of different types of analyzers for veneer, plywood, LVL, and lumber production.
Future-proof your mill.
Raute offers services worldwide to maintain existing veneer, plywood, and LVL production machinery and to improve the production.

Remuneration Report 2024
2024 was an important year of execution for Raute, as we were able to elevate our performance − both in terms of profitability and operationally − to a new level.
Profitability clearly exceeded our initial estimation thanks to solid project deliveries and improved efficiency, and therefore we raised our financial guidance twice during the year. Net sales also turned out to be higher than we had expected.
I am convinced that we have raised our performance level on a sustained basis, and we will continue the implementation of Raute’s growth strategy with determination in 2025.

We provide technology, analyzers, and services to transform wood into modern engineered wood products – veneer, plywood and LVL – that people can trust. We also actively leverage our capabilities in other new engineered wood product segments such as solid wood production. Data-led and digitalized production is at the core of our operations.
In 2024, Wotan Forest, Czechia, and Raute recognized the opportunity to further improve material recovery and enhance production volume. This led to the decision to adopt a performance-based service agreement, specifically designed to maximize the equipment’s potential and optimize ongoing support for continuous performance improvement, leveraging integrated MillSIGHTS data analysis to achieve these goals.
Opting for Raute, a renowned leader in the field, signifies a move towards conforming to international standards, a critical aspect for our ongoing growth.
Arkadiusz Swider, Chairman of the board and CEO of Paged Estonia
In line with Raute’s strategy, the company made its very first delivery of an automated repair line for solid wood panels to Pfeifer, Austria, in the spring of 2024. For Raute, the project was a strategical gradual expansion toward massive wood industry utilizing its core technologies including analyzers and machine vision technology
The new dryer drying basically twice as much as my largest other dryer does with limited extra people is allowing us to bring our unit costs down.

At Raute, we foster an inclusive and engaging workplace in which all Rauteans are respected. Reflecting our refreshed values, it is important that everyone can express their own voice and has a feeling of being listened to. Employees’ feedback and ideas are valuable for developing Raute’s culture and ways of working.
I believe Raute offers many opportunities, and no two days are similar. People are given a chance to test their limits, and if you have the motivation, you can do a lot of different tasks. You can never be so acquainted with these machines that you would not be able to learn something new every day. There is room for personal growth and development.
Jutta Touru, Mechanic and Line Supervisor
Our people are important as this is not a one-man show, it’s teamwork. Many of my local colleagues have worked here for a long time, and I think they are now seeing a big change after they became part of Raute. Someone is taking care of them and developing their skills.
Kaupo Mäesalu, Project and Maintenance Manager
Raute’s values are important to me as they are also my own values, and I share them with the company. To keep customers happy, we need to be able to communicate with customers what they really want. Both promoting development and keeping improving yourself are very important. I am also happy about the sustainability aspect of the values, as the company cares about the planet in that sense.
