What Logset does

Logset Oy is a privately held Finnish manufacturer of forestry machinery, headquartered in Koivulahti, Finland, and founded around 1990. The company designs and builds cut-to-length forest machines in three main categories: harvesters (including hybrid models such as the 12H GTE HYBRID and 8H GTE HYBRID), forwarders (4F GT through 12F GT), and harvester heads (TH45 through TH95, plus a eucalyptus-specialized TH65 EUCA). Core engineering IP centers on a hybrid powertrain that reduces combustion-engine power requirements while cutting emissions and fuel use, proprietary control software (TOC-MD 2 for harvesters and TOC 2 for forwarders), the SuperCut 100S saw system, the DeX engine-brake assistant for forwarders, and a domain-specialized three-roller eucalyptus debarking head developed with 1,500+ pilot hours in Brazil.

The company reports more than three decades of engineering experience and emphasizes durability and low fuel consumption, with documented operator lifespans exceeding 20,000 hours for Euca heads and 30-year-old machines still in service. Production is concentrated in Finland (all harvester heads are welded and assembled there), and the bill of materials is sourced through long-standing supplier relationships with Mesera (cranes), AGCO Power (Stage V diesel engines), Huldtins (SuperCut saw units), Indexator (rotators), and Parker/Bucher (hydraulic motors).

Logset operates as a B2B industrial-equipment manufacturer, selling through authorized dealers across at least 12 countries (Finland, Sweden, Estonia, USA, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, UK, and France). Pricing is quote-based through the dealer channel and is not publicly disclosed. Revenue, ownership, and financial disclosures are absent from the source material. Recent strategic activity includes a March 2026 CEO transition (Pascal Réty replacing Ron Back as acting CEO), a February 2026 Infor CloudSuite PLM go-live, and continuing product cadence including the H-Series harvester crane and 4F GT 3.3 forwarder update.

Core offering

Logset designs, manufactures, and sells forestry machines including cut-to-length harvesters, forwarders for timber extraction, and harvester heads (cutting and delimbing attachments). The company also develops proprietary control systems (TOC-MD 2 and TOC 2) and specialized components such as the H-Series crane and eucalyptus-specific Euca harvester heads. All harvester heads are welded and assembled in Finland, and machines are built for full-lifespan durability.

Product overview

Logset is a Finnish forest machine manufacturer with over three decades of experience building forestry equipment. The product portfolio consists of three main categories: Harvesters (12H GTE HYBRID, 8H GTE HYBRID, 8H GTE, 6HP GTE, 8H GT, 6HP GT, 5HP GT), Forwarders (12F GT, 10F GT, 8F GT, 6F GT, 5FP GT, 5F GT, 4F GT), and Harvester Heads (TH95, TH90, TH80, TH75, TH70, TH65 EUCA, TH65, TH60, TH55, TH45). The machines are known for durability and low fuel consumption. Logset's proprietary TOC-MD 2 and TOC 2 control systems operate and control their forest machines. The company also offers the Logset H-Series Crane with parallel hydraulic technology. Harvesters perform tree felling and processing, forwarders transport harvested timber from the forest to collection points, and harvester heads are attachments that perform cutting, delimbing, and measuring functions.
