About Company
In the mid-1940’s, Helmer Ranebo purchased a small piece of
forestland outside of Östanå in the southern part of Sweden and soon
afterwards set up his own sawmill for production of softwood lumber
primarily for his own family needs.
He also did some custom-sawing of logs for farmers and forest
owners in the surrounding areas.
His grandson, Anders Ranebo, has since grown this modest
family sawmilling business into an international organization,
operating its own sawmills in most of the countries in which ARTC
Group is now active. None of this could have happened, however,
without the dedication and hard work of the team of experienced
experts that have made ARTC Group what it is today.
ARTC in its current form was established in 2010 but ARTC goes back
to 1994 when Anders Ranebo started
R. Woodtrade International Inc.
From then on, ARTC went through a number of transitions and has been
involved in several international projects. In 2006 ARTC LLC was
formed and in 2010 the current form of ARTC Group Inc. came into
being. Altogether ARTC has been in existence and has played a
significant role in the international wood products trade for more
than 15 years.
