Eco Log Sweden

What Eco Log Sweden does

Eco Log Sweden AB is a Swedish manufacturer of cut-to-length (CTL) forestry machinery, headquartered in Söderhamn and founded in 2004. The company designs, builds, and services wheeled harvesters (500-series and 688G), forwarders/skotare (560-594 series), and harvester heads (EC 461 LF, EC 661 LF, EC 661 LF Lite) engineered specifically for demanding Nordic forest conditions. Its core technology differentiators are patented: pendulum arm chassis providing variable ground clearance (175-1260mm), LogHold log-gripping system, Low Friction (LF) harvester head concept, FDM diameter measurement, Eco Log Saw Control, and the D7 Wireless machine-to-head communication system. These capabilities support high feed speeds (5.5-6.7 m/s) and improved timber value through reduced stem damage.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct field sales in Scandinavia and Finland with a global dealer and authorized service-provider network of 60+ partners spanning 24+ countries in Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. Revenue streams include new machine sales, harvester head attachments, aftermarket spare parts (including via the Eco Log Now online portal), recurring service and spare parts agreements, technical support, and the Eco Log Sim operator training software. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Primary customers are professional forestry contractors and forestry companies engaged in thinning, final felling, and forwarding operations.

The company is privately held under private equity owner Accent Equity Partners (since January 2017), employs 101-250 people, and has no disclosed subsidiaries or parent entities. Recent strategic activity centers on a sequenced G-series harvester refresh (2022-2026), the 2024-2025 introduction of FDM and D7 Wireless technologies, and a dedicated market entry into Finland via a Kangasala sales office, service workshop, and service van established in October 2025.
