The biggest change is about innovative technology. That’s the message from Paul Lingemann, sawmill manager at Egger Brilon, which put Germany’s first TC continuous kiln into operation in 2016 – a facility that is currently drying 100,000 cubic meters (42 MMBF) per year, but has the capacity to increase to more than 120,000 cubic meters (51 MMBF).

Valutec continued to grow last year. During 2018, the group had a total turnover of Euro 43 million, a new record and an increase of 46% from last year's Euro 29.4 million, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
