Efficient wood heating options for joineries and sawmills

Specializing in wood heating, Hargassner marks its 40th year in business. In 2023 the company expanded its presence in North America by establishing a new headquarters in Toronto, enhancing local warehousing, and bringing on board regional staff. This strategic move underscores Hargassner’s dedication to fulfilling the specific needs of its North American clientele — particularly those in Canadian and US joineries and sawmills.

“Estimating heating costs has become increasingly challenging. Many sawmills and joineries are using their own wood chips or residual wood for heating. Therefore, they need sophisticated heating technology to use the wood efficiently. Hargassner offers a reliable solution that is particularly suitable for those needs”,
says Stefan Kopp, CEO of Hargassner North America

What makes biomass the smart choice?

Hargassner boilers for joineries and sawmills run on biomass – this can be wood chips, residual wood, pellets or well known logs. Wood chips are produced from untreated residual wood sourced from local forests and the sawmill industry — materials that might otherwise go unused. Using your own wood not only reduces costs compared to burning oil or gas, but also bolsters the local economy and promotes sustainable, carbon-neutral practices by recycling residual wood.
