In Hungary, over one million hectares of solely state-owned forests are mainly managed by 22 state-owned forestries supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture. SEFAG Erdészeti és Faipari Zrt. (SEFAG Zrt.) is a member of the company group.

Our company is located in South-Western Hungary, south of Lake Balaton, in Somogy County, managing 80,000 hectares of state owned forest area. (www.sefag.hu)

A considerable portion of the wood produced in our forests is processed by our own sawmill in Csurgó. Our wood products include trimmed lumber, boards, tongued and grooved flooring, lamina parquet, industrial flooring, top layer lamella production of multi-layered wood flooring. (www.cs-fa.hu)

As the major wildlife management company in Hungary, one of our basic activities involves big game management, with special focus on red deer.

SEFAG Zrt. performs hunting and wildlife management activities in a 103,000 hectare hunting area. All species of big game (red deer, fallow deer, wild boars, deer, moufflon) can be found there and be hunted in our eight separate areas. The quality of the stock managed by our Company is characterised by six hunting areas out of the eight having been qualified as special purpose areas, with extremely high genetic values. The quality of the red deer stock is extremely high. Of our hunting regions, the Lábod area comprising about 48,200 hectares, famous for being the largest uninterrupted hunting area of Hungary, is an outstanding venue. The area in the Southern Somogy region, reaching down to the Dráva River has world famous red deer stocks, and unique fallow deer stocks. The lowland area frequently crossed by waters, fish ponds, agricultural and forest areas may be called legendary with due reason. The quantity and quality of wild game to be found here is unique even in international terms. (www.sefaghunting.com)
