The new softwood production line, which is planned to be operational by 2Q 2016, will substantially increase AEG WoodFibre’s manufacturing capacity and broaden its market offering, making it the only supplier in the Black Sea region to supply both of the key raw materials for MDF manufacturing from a single facility.
Richard Spinks, CEO of Active Energy Group Plc, said: “The success of AEG’s operational and executive team over the past three years in transforming the Group’s Ukrainian wood fibre business is confirmed by these significant new supply contracts.”
“The entire MDF industry now recognises that AEG WoodFibre is a leading force in the European wood fibre supply market that can be relied upon to consistently deliver bulk volumes of high-quality feedstock; demonstrated by our clients’ willingness to support the expansion of our manufacturing facilities to include softwood production.”
AEG WoodFibre is division of Active Energy Group, which is supplier of timberland management and development services, industrial wood fibre, and Biomass coal replacement fuels.
