Pleasant River sawmill group invested in Valutec’s kilns for their sawmills in Jackman-Moose River and Dover Foxcroft in Maine, US. The investment in the two TC kilns from Valutec is intended to contribute to an increase in production capacity by 50% in the coming years. Recently, the first timber packages were loaded in new TC continuous kiln, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The installation of the dryers, which together have a capacity of more than 85,000 MBF, began this spring and was led by Valutec’s assembly manager Mattias Henriksson together with an American assembly team.
“Delivering to other countries and working with local assembly teams is part of our everyday lives. We have built up a great deal of experience in projects in other countries and know what it takes, from design to planning of logistics and on-site work,” says Valutec CEO Robert Larsson.
Pleasant River is a fourth-generation family-owned sawmill, which annually produces around 110,000 MBF timber for the domestic market.
