What RemaSawco does

RemaSawco is a Linköping, Sweden-based business unit of Image Systems that supplies measurement technology solutions to European sawmill operators. Founded in 1987, the company focuses exclusively on the sawmill vertical, providing equipment and systems for log sorting stations, dry sorter lines, and planing lines. Its product set covers the full sawmill measurement and optimization workflow, with services that include delivery, installation, commissioning, and operator training tied to each equipment deployment.

The company operates a direct enterprise sales motion, targeting sawmill and lumber-processing customers primarily in Sweden and increasingly across Europe. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment and system sales supplemented by professional services for installation, commissioning, and training. Contract values for recent disclosed orders range from SEK 1.9 million to SEK 7 million, with delivery timelines extending up to two years out (e.g., the Renholmen planing line delivery scheduled for summer 2027). Pricing is negotiated per contract rather than via published tiers.

Named customers include Högland Anundsjö, Bergkvist Siljan (Insjön), and Renholmen — all enterprise sawmill operators in Sweden — alongside at least one unnamed European sawmill. With 11–50 employees and a niche vertical focus, RemaSawco competes on domain specialization rather than scale, leveraging nearly four decades of accumulated sawmill measurement expertise inherited from its parent Image Systems.
