Jartek has secured a significant deal with Arbor Wood, company based in the United States. We will deliver a 45 m³ thermal modification chamber and a 1 MW gas-fired German thermal oil boiler to our customer in St. Joe, Indiana. This project further strengthens Jartek's position as a leading provider of thermal modification technology on the international stage.

Arbor Wood's decision to invest in Jartek's solution arose from their need to expand production capacity and enhance the quality of their products. The new thermal modification chamber features an improved structure developed by Jartek, optimizing airflow to ensure a consistent and high-quality treatment process. The chamber is specifically designed for thermally treating hardwoods and will be installed outdoors.

Harri Puolanne, Jartek's Business Director, commented on the project: "We are thrilled to support Arbor Wood in expanding their capacity. We believe our advanced thermal modification technology meets their needs and provides a sustainable solution for producing high-quality thermally modified products."

Jartek's thermal modification chambers are based on ThermoWood® technology, renowned for its durability and eco-friendliness. The process enhances wood properties such as moisture resistance and dimensional stability.

The Arbor Wood project further solidifies Jartek's position as an industry leader.
