Description

Project goal: The aim of the project is to develop and launch a new product - a building material for the production of wooden frame houses, which will be manufactured with a new, modern and energy-efficient timber processing line. At the moment a Company does not have such an opportunity because the cost of operating existing machines is too high to produce this product, as well as it was not technologically possible to ensure a high-quality and compliant production process. The new product will have a high added value and thus increase the company''s productivity. Main activities: Within the framework of the project, new manufacturing equipment will be purchased, information measures will be carried out, collaboration with a Norwegian partner will take place, as well as activities related to the introduction of the new product in production-related activities will be carried out.

Summary of project results

The project promoter launched into production a new building material for the production of wooden frame houses, that are manufactured with new, modern and energy-efficient timber processing line. 

 

Within the framework of the project, new manufacturing equipment was purchased, information and communication activities carried out, and collaboration with a Norwegian partner took place, as well as activities related to the introduction of the new product into production-related activities were carried out.

 

The implementation of the project reduced the impact on the environment throughout the product life cycle - the choice of raw materials, the production process, as well as during the use of products and entering the waste stream. The expected positive impact on the environment is reducing CO2 emisions by 6748 t/year, and new production line is more efficient by saving energy 350.657 MwH/year. 
As a result of the project, at least 30% of the new product will be exported to large-scale markets, Europe, as well as Asia.
Created 6 new jobs positions.
