Finnish company UPM has chosen to invest in a continuous kiln from Valutec for its sawmill in Korkeakoski.

Scottish sawmill Adam Wilson has invested in a new timber kiln from Valutec. The equipment to be delivered will be one of the first modern continuous kilns in the British Isles.

Valutec has recruited Timo Kanerva to the management post at Valutec LLC, with registered offices in St. Petersburg.

Valutec has won contracts to supply timber kilns to two sawmills in western Finland with a distinguished heritage, namely Voma Oy and Westas Pihlava.
