| About us...
From its inception, FINSA has based its activity on some essential basic foundations: raw materials of the highest quality, human resources in constant evolution, closely identified with the objectives of the company, and the latest technology, where Finsa is pioneer in the sector. All the above mentioned is linked together by the fundamental concept of complete integration of all phases and processes.
The aim of the company is to create an independent and safe development, generating its own human and financial resources so that they will bring about strength and stability.
Our tradition in forestry involves us, on a day-to-day basis, in the development of specialised services which improve and increase the effectiveness of the management of resources that are unavoidably limited. The conservation and comprehensive exploitation of wood is the foundation of a healthy processing industry.
Consequently, and because we have future goals, we work in Finsa to contribute with solutions to an every day more dynamic and demanding market.
