Visit us at the Forest Products Expo in Nashville and we will tell you why sawmills all over the world choose Valuec as their main kiln supplier.

At Valutec, we ensure that every sawmill is confident in our unwavering commitment to quality. Our TC continuous kilns are a prime example, renowned for their combination of superior quality, productivity and energy efficiency. These benefits have been instrumental in positioning Valutec as the preferred choice for future-oriented sawmills across North America.

In May, Valutec was once again one of the exhibitors at the world’s largest sawmill trade fair, Ligna in Hannover. From the company’s perspective, the experience was that after a few challenging years for the industry, there is now renewed confidence in a bright future.

“For us, it is always valuable to meet people from the sawmill industry. It’s a great opportunity to look ahead and be inspired with new ideas,” says Eric Johansson, Marketing Manager at Valutec.

Swedish Valutec, the world leader in continuous wood drying, introduces ”Closed Loop Drying” a patent-pending solution that can achieve energy savings up to 50%.

“Lumber drying is one of the most energy-intensive processes at the sawmills. Given the global rise in energy costs, this significantly enhances the economic attractiveness of the system”, says patent inventor Robert Larsson, Business Developer at Valutec.

To increase quality yield and gain greater flexibility in production, Holmen, one of Scandinavia's leading sawmill groups, has chosen to rebuild its drying fleet at its sawmill in Bygdsiljum, Sweden. An older continuous kiln is being "retired" and replaced with four state-of-the-art batch kilns from Swedish Valutec.
