PREMIUM QUALITY WOOD PELLETS
Wood pellets are a type of biomass fuel, which allows using captured solar energy for heating. They are a renewable fuel that is environmentally friendly, and burning it generates thermal energy.
“Staļi” Ltd produces high-quality wood pellets from the chips of freshly sawn softwood saw logs left over in the production of windows, doors and other products. Thus, the wood can be used completely.
Regular quality tests carried out during the production process show that the company offers one of the best pellets in Latvia. This is also confirmed by the compliance of results of the tests carried out by SGS (the world's leading and recognized testing, inspection and certification company) on the premium quality wood pellets. Accordingly, in 2013, the company received the German DINplus certificate and, at the beginning of 2015 – the European certificate Enplus-A1.
Wood pellets are manufactured using a specific technology developed by the company that ensures careful processing of the wood pellets, thus providing the highest quality.
