Timber processing
Import of timber.
The import of timber is part of our operations. We mainly import from Latvia and Lithuania, but
occasionally from Sweden and Norway. This primarily involves pallet materials used in our production
or hardwood, which is used as supports for the production items of aluminum companies.
Pallet production.
We produce pallets of all sizes, whether standard sizes or custom-made. Our clients include
companies such as Brim, Samherji, Eimskip, Samskip, Lýsi, Elkem, Rio Tinto, Arctic Prime Fisheries,
DFFU, Útgerðafélag Reykjavíkur, Hvalur, Ice Fish, Iraco, Fiskvinnslan Kambur, Kuldaboli, Marúlfur,
Royal Iceland, BEWI Iceland, along with many other esteemed partners.
Quality control.
We are constantly working to improve the quality of our production. This involves conducting quality
inspections of all our suppliers. For every imported container of pallet materials, an inspection of
the materials is carried out upon receipt. Our foreign supplier then receives a report following the
inspection, documenting any deviations, if present. The quality inspection of raw materials includes
measuring moisture levels, visual inspection, and verifying whether the materials meet the specified
size measurements.
Quality control also takes place during the production of the pallets. This involves checking
whether the pallets are correctly nailed together, the proper materials and nails are used, moisture
levels are measured, and last but not least, whether the HT (heat treatment) mark is intact.
Recycling.
We recycle used pallets by dismantling them in specialized machines and repurposing the usable
materials to build new pallets. During the recycling and pallet production process, a significant
amount of wood waste is generated, which we shred and either further grind or process into wood
pellets. Both products are used as bedding for horses and have proven highly effective.
Additionally, we have coarsely shredded wood packed in large bags for horse owners, which they use
as flooring in riding halls.
We sell the bedding in 20kg bags as well as large sacks weighing approximately 550–600kg.
