It is said that the growth can be attributed to the high demand, the pandemic and government subsidies. The expansion of the company headquarters, which began in April 2021, is scheduled to be completed this summer. With the start of production, the capacity could be doubled, reported Ökofen. In 2021, more than 25,000 pellet heating systems were delivered.
The production and logistics site will then cover 40,000 square meters and also offer enough space for research and development. With the new ZeroFlames technology, which will be presented at the energy saving trade fair in April in Wels, Ökofen reduces fine dust particle emissions to a minimum. A system that uses the heat present in the exhaust gas to generate energy is also presented. For these developments, Ökofen was honored by sanitary and installation companies as the innovation winner in the field of wood energy. “This confirms that we are on the right track and that we are taking a big step towards emission-free energy conversion from wood pellets with innovations such as ZeroFlame technology,” emphasized Managing Director Stefan Ortner.
