Bergs Timber to double treatment capacity

The company, which has three mills at Mörlanda, Orrefors and Gransjö, said its Bitus treatment division in Nybro – billed as Europe’s largest wood treatment plant – has been granted a permit to extend capacity.

“It feels very good that we made this decision,” said Bergs’ CEO Peter Nilsson. “We have a well-invested and modern facility with an existing capacity exceeding 250,000m³.

“To reach the new permit level requires only minor investment. We have gradually increased production in recent years and feel we now need to expand,” he said.

Bergs reported that the basis of its decision was the steadily increasing market for processed wood products.

Bergs’ keys markets are Scandinavia, England and France, but several new markets have begun to be established, including North Africa.
