Bergs Timber's Swedish subsidiary Bitus AB invests and expands the production capacity for Linax.
Linax is Bitus' own brand for linseed oil impregnated wood that is part of its product area Wood Protection. Linax has good properties for durability in color, shape and is mainly used as a deck, panel for detached houses, roofs and outdoor furniture.
Demand for Linax is increasing and Bitus will now invest SEK 22 million ($2.6 million) to increase production from the current approx. 5000 m3 per year to 15 000 m3 per year. A new facility will be built in connection with the current production unit in Nybro, Sweden. It will be ready by the turn of the year 2021/2022.
“After the investment, the current capacity for Linax will triple. The investment is completely in line with our investment in the Wood Protection area and strengthens our market position,” says Peter Nilsson, CEO Bergs.
With wood as a raw material, Bergs produces processed wood products from sustainably managed forests in the Baltic Sea region.
