It's almost a year since we at Valutec launched our North American subsidiary Valutec Wood Dryers Inc, in Vancouver, British Columbia. During that time, we’ve made sure to learn more about the specific challenges that sawmills in North America face when it comes to everything related with the wood drying process.

At the TP&EE fair in Portland, Oregon, visitors had the chance to experience one of Valutec's kilns through virtual reality. Featured was a TC-kiln, a new breed where TC is a Swedish abbreviation for ”cross circulation”. TC-kilns have fast become the most talked about type of kiln in Europe because of its distinguishing features and special construction, which results in both high flexibility and superior capacity.

Valutec has won an order for a total of 17 timber kilns from north-eastern Russia’s largest sawmill, Sawmill 25 in Siberian Archangel, which is building an entirely new sawmill plant. The total order value is around EUR 4.5 million, which means that the order is one of the largest ever for the company.
