"Moreover, the location in northern Schleswig-Holstein offers the opportunity to further expand the end-customer business in southern Denmark, using the facility as the connecting element that links our Wismar site with our Danish sales subsidiary", notes Peter H. Leibold, Managing Director of German Pellets GmbH.
The customers and workforce of Nord Energie will be integrated into the existing network of German Pellets Group. The local proximity to the customer is maintained; delivery will continue to be from the storage facility in Bredstedt. The relevant contacts and drivers remain as they have been up to now.
What will be new is that from now on customers will be obtaining their pellets directly from the manufacturer – premium pellets of the German Pellets brand, produced in northern Germany. This means that, for the first time, the Nord Energie customers can also use the "PowerPlus" process of product refinement, obtainable solely from German Pellets. This technology refines wood pellets by using an ultra-thin film consisting of plant oil. As a result, the pellets' flow-capability is increased and 95% less dust is generated when the pellets are blown into the storage area.
Nord Energie commands more than five years of experience in pellet trading and logistics, and has an outstanding reputation and a client base spanning years, based in Schleswig-Holstein, the Hamburg area and northern Lower Saxony.
The German Pellets Group produces wood pellets and also wood-based products for animal hygiene, selling these in almost all of Europe's core markets.
