Malwa Forest AB
Malwa Forest develops and manufactures compact thinning machines for gentle forest management. Our professional harvesters, forwarders and combi machines cruise between the trees in standing forests without causing damage to the soil and the environment. Entering sensitive stands is rarely a problem, whatever the season, thanks to low ground pressure and a machine width of around two meters. The model range consists of professional harvesters, forwarders, and combi machines. Built to meet contractors’ demands for high utility. Much of the technology that is standard in larger machines has been scaled down to fit the compact size; hydraulic drive train, separate pump systems, etc. – this makes us unique in the class.

About us
Storm-proof forests, lower carbon dioxide emissions per cubic metre, minimal damage to soil and the environment. Choosing Malwa is choosing low impact forestry, a better way to manage forests.
The company was founded in 2009 and is now the market leader in Sweden in our segment. Interest from other countries is steadily increasing and we now expect more than every second Malwa to be exported. In Sweden, we sell directly to end customers, whether they are landowners, contractors, or forestry companies. Service is provided by authorized partners spread throughout the country. On the export side, we work with carefully selected distributors.
Development and manufacturing take place in our plant in Skene between Borås and Varberg and only 25 minutes by car from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport. You are welcome to visit us at any time to see how our machines are built and to discuss low impact forestry.
Vision & Values
Malwa was born out of a vision for a better way to manage forests. Based on the wishes and requirements of the forest owner, we want to combine productivity with gentleness to create long-term value. Since day one, the goal has been to contribute to storm-proof forests, minimal damage to the soil and environment, lower carbon emissions per cubic meter, and a higher volume of timber over the life cycle of a stand.
We are moving closer to our goal by continuing to do what we do best – develop and build the world’s most optimized thinning machines. Big in technology and performance, compact in the forest. Every Malwa that rolls out of our factory is the result of close collaboration and dialogue with contractors, operators, and landowners. Continuing to perform well is not only an important business objective, but it’s also a testament to a better-managed forest.
Good machine-building starts with a cohesive team. At Malwa, we want to create an environment of curiosity, openness, and high technical competence. A Team spirit that spans through all departments – from construction to aftermarket. Just like the trees in the forest, we grow strong together.
