Stora Enso's sawmill in Ala, Sweden is investing in one TC progressive kiln, two FB-continuous kilns and three cart-fed batch kilns from Swedish Valutec.
"When the new Valutec dryers are in place, we will have a state-of-the-art, sustainable drying park, tailored to our product range. We will become more energy-efficient with high-tech drying technology in all our kilns," says Jenny Andersson, sawmill manager at Stora Enso Ala.

Pleasant River Lumber was the first to install Valutec's “progressive continuous” dry kiln in North America, in Jackman, Maine. The first worked so well, the Brochu family bought three more.

Junnikkala Oy is investing €75 million in building one of Finland’s largest and most modern sawmills in Oulu.
“We set the bar high for technic and process. Valutec has proven in previous deliveries that they can answer to our needs”, says Kalle Junnikkala, CEO Junnikkala Oy.

HASSLACHER Group, one of the world’s leading producers of glulam and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), invests in TC continuous kilns from Valutec. The deal means the well-known timber industry group becomes the first in Austria to own the groundbreaking lumber kiln. This is also a new prestigious order for Valutec, which strengthens its position as a global leader within the field of continuous kilns.
