BKtech Expands Production Capacity of Wood Pellets
BK Tech Pellets AB is part of BK Tech Group AB. The group offers Green Steam on Demand, a type of energy supply agreement that includes the energy plant, operation, maintenance, and fuel. To support this type of agreement, the company is now securing access for expansion through increased production of wood pellets at a new factory.
The new factory is located in Ruda, Småland. André Kraft, Business Area Manager at BK Tech Pellets AB, explains:
“For many years, we’ve been manufacturing high-quality wood pellets at our production facilities in Böta Kvarn and Norrköping. We’ve now decided to consolidate these production sites into a single facility in Ruda, Högsby municipality. This will provide us with better conditions for both raw material storage and the production of wood pellets, while significantly increasing our output to meet demand”.
Gustav Melin is the new CEO of BK Tech Pellets AB and emphasizes the importance of responsibility:
“We truly understand our fuel. By having our pellet manufacturing in-house and ample storage space, we gain a better opportunity to develop and expand our operations. We find that owning our wood pellet production creates significant credibility with our customers, as we take responsibility for the entire value chain—fuel, energy facilities, operations, and service. We at BKtech Group can take 100% responsibility and deliver fossil-free steam to our customers’ production processes in a very reliable manner”.
BKtech secures fuel supply for the Nordic and European markets through local pellet producers, says Anton Berggren, Business Development Manager at BKtech:
“In the past year, we’ve developed our concept and offering, Green Steam on Demand, for both the Nordic and European markets, with a primary focus on France. For customers located far from our pellet factory in Sweden, we ensure fuel availability through partnerships with local pellet producers. In these discussions, our ability to produce pellets ourselves is a significant advantage, as it fosters trust while allowing us to maintain quality and distribution for our international clients.”
