 SweTree Technologies is a plant and forest biotechnology company providing products and technologies to improve the productivity and performance properties of seedlings, wood and fiber for forestry, pulp & paper, packaging, hygiene, textile and other fiber related industries.
Our mission is to make specific improvements to trees and cellulose fibers, and to provide superior value to the forest and fiber industry by having an unsurpassed understanding of tree biology and biochemistry.
Our business idea is to realize the value of our knowledge and technologies by developing and commercializing our own innovative products, or, through exclusive collaborations, enabling industrial partners to improve the value of their products.
We perform research and development both in Umeå and Uppsala, Sweden. In addition, an extremely strong research base has been secured through the agreement with Woodheads AB, which includes 44 of the most prominent Swedish researchers in their respective fields. These scientists have a broad competence, ranging from tree biology and biochemistry to pulp and paper chemistry. This ensures that SweTree Technologies business areas are grounded on a solid, scientific basis.
The company has two core business areas; Forestry and Fiber Modification:
- Forestry - focusing on added value in the tree
- Fiber Modification - focusing on added value in the wood fiber
Outside of these core areas we will licence our technologies to strong partners, allowing us to attain an optimal mix of short and long term revenues. One example of such an area is agriculture.
