Metsis Ltd.

The founder of Metsis forwarder is Mr. Ivo Jürgenson. In 1993 he got the thought - why shouldn’t Estonia, as a considerable logging country, have homemade logging forwarder. Of course forestry forwarder is a sophisticated machine, which is not too simple to build. It took three long years to elaborate the idea and develop the final design. The stimulus was to build forestry forwarder for personal usage, which would be more reliable in Estonian conditions and which exploitation charges would be considerably smaller than with Scandinavian machines. After establishing his own private company Iftar in 1996 and having a vision how a modern Estonian forwarder should look like, Mr. Ivo Jürgenson started to construct the machine already in the same year.
