Processum - the member association
The biorefinery sector is attracting increasing interest today, not only from traditional forest companies and suppliers of products and services to the forest industry but also from companies in other industries.
Therefore, the members of the Processum Interest Association consist of companies with different activities but with a common interest in finding and developing commercially viable processes and products based on forest raw materials or industrial byproducts.
The shared attitude is also to collaborate together in the association and in project form to discover interesting opportunities. The members of the Processum Interest Association are members of the Processum Biorefinery Cluster but have an expanded offering and involvement in the cluster and the company RISE Processum AB.
The Interest Association holds three out of seven seats on the board of RISE Processum AB and is also involved in the activities of the R&D Council. Through the Interest Association, the members therefore have significant influence over the operations.
