“Getting to deliver a complete solution that is truly top of the line is a huge vote of confidence in us as a company. This is by far the largest deal in Renholmen’s history. It gives us an excellent foundation for the next few years and allows us to grow even more,” says Bernt-Ove Andersson, Renholmen’s Marketing Manager.
Setra Hasselfors is investing in a brand new high-capacity plant in the form of a dry sorter with integrated planing line for spruce construction timber. The new facility will produce 300,000 cubic metres of timber products every year, with planed products accounting for around two thirds.
Design and manufacture will now continue until late autumn 2019, followed by assembly and commissioning. The equipment is expected to be running at the promised full capacity by autumn 2020.
