HMPK OÜ

What HMPK OÜ does

HMPK OÜ is an Estonian privately held forestry and wood-trading company founded in 1997, registered in Kärdla on the island of Hiiumaa. The company purchases standing timber and forest land from private owners and harvesters, processes the raw material into approximately thirty different assortments (paper wood, logs, firewood, chips), and sells both domestically and for export. Its core technology stack is a modern physical fleet — Ponsse Scorpion King harvesters and Ponsse Elk, Buffalo, and Bison forwarders for harvesting, and Scania trucks fitted with EPSILON hydraulic cranes (8x4) plus MB Actros and Volvo FH units for transport — with the entire fleet under five years old and continuously renewed. Operations are anchored at three port terminals (Lehtma, Heltermaa, Rohuküla) that provide direct ship-loading access for wood-chip exports to Scandinavian co-generation plants.

The business is vertically integrated through wholly owned subsidiary Firewood Products OÜ (firewood production in Paladel village), Swedish timber-transport subsidiary Dagö Skog AB, and a co-owned sawmill, Lehtma Saeveski, that upgrades low-quality roundwood into lumber. Revenue is generated via direct wood trading (transaction fees), professional logging and transport services, sawmill hardware sales, and bulk wood-chip export. Customer acquisition is relationship-led, anchored on long-term partnerships with Holmen Mets AS, Stora Enso Eesti AS, and the Estonian state forestry centre RMK, with Scandinavian utilities as export buyers. The company holds KUTSEKOJA Level 4 operator certifications and is pursuing Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) certification alongside RED II mass-balance compliance to maintain export eligibility.

In addition to its core Estonian-Swedish footprint, HMPK has developed a pan-European emergency-response capability, deploying harvesting crews for storm, hurricane, and bark-beetle damage cleanup in Sweden, France, Poland, and Germany between 2005 and 2023. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range. Ownership is undisclosed and the company has no public funding history; it is not listed and no parent company is identified.
