Södra is a Swedish paper and forest products group anchored in Växjö, Kronoberg, with operations spanning from forestry management to product development. The company operates three main lines—sawn timber, paper pulp, and biofuel—and has grown its electricity production to exceed its own usage. It is organized as an economic association of forest owners in southern Sweden, with 53,000 members who own just over half of all privately owned forest in the region, supplying the group's raw materials and underpinning forestry profitability. The association model connects the forest owners to markets in Sweden and abroad, giving Södra a broad sourcing base and customer reach. In 2026, Södra undertook notable developments including a collaboration with Viking Analytics to deploy 3,650 AI sensors, and ongoing work on new paper pulp formulations that integrate oat hulls with forest materials, including the launch of Södra blue S.
