Maine wood pellet industry growing
Maine's wood pellet industry is expanding its reach with the launch of two new manufacturing and installation ventures.
Austrian wood pellet manufacturer OkoFEN Pellet Heating has established a Maine-based company called Maine Eco Pellet Heating LLC that will manufacture wood pellet boilers for both commercial and residential buildings, according to a press release. The company is located in the same Bethel facility as Maine Energy Systems, a company launched in 2008 by entrepreneur and gubernatorial candidate Les Otten. Production of the pellet systems is expected to begin next month.
The pellet boilers will be sold by Maine Energy Systems and a new company called ReVision Heat LLC, formed by ReVision Energy, which has offices in Portland and Liberty, and Corinth Wood Pellets, according to the release. ReVision Heat will sell and install the boilers and deliver pellets from the Corinth facility, initially targeting customers in the Portland and Bangor areas, ReVision Heat's Gary Higginbottom told Mainebiz. The company is planning to establish an office in Brewer.
