About Us
BSW Timber is the largest sawmilling business in Great Britain and the company's foundations go back to 1848.
BSW sawmills are located throughout the UK, at Fort William, Boat of Garten, Petersmuir, Dalbeattie, Carlisle and Newbridge-on-Wye in Wales and we have one sawmill in Riga, Latvia. Group Headquarters remain in the town of Earlston in Berwickshire, where the business originated. Today the firm employs 900 people in the UK and Latvia, turnover is in excess of £163 million. Customer service centres at our Carlisle, Dalbeattie, Newbridge and Fort William mills ensure that all our customers receive specialised and dedicated help - consistently.
In November 2009 BSW Timber announced the acquisition of Howie Forest Products and Howie Group Ltd, increasing its strategically located sawn timber capacity to more than one million m3 per annum.
We continue to invest in our manufacturing facilities and technology and in market research, product and market development, bringing new opportunities to our customers using both UK and Latvian fibre. We are continually looking at ways to improve product availability and customer service.
