OrganoWood signs general agreement with Byggmakker, Norway.
OrganoWood manufactures and markets eco-friendly fire and rot protected wood and wood treatment products. OrganoWood has since 2014 had product available on the Norweigan market. Now Byggmakker, one of Norways largest building supply chains for both consumer and professionals have decided to distribute OrganoWood products. OrganoWood identifies Norway as a very important market for expansion during 2017 and this agreement is an important part of that mission.
Since 2012, OrganoWood AB manufactures and markets OrganoWood®-modified wood with effective fire and rot protection and with a unique water repellent technology. The wood is an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional pressure treated timber decking and OrganoWood® is recommended by Swedish Byggvarubedömningen and SundaHus. In 2014, OrganoWood®-modified wood won Nordbyggs gold medal for “the Hottest new building material of the year” and the company´s wood treatment system was the first wood protection products in Sweden to be awarded with the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation's eco-label "Good Environmental Choice"
- "To get an agreement in place with another large chain in Norway means a lot for us. Now we can really have a presence and availability of our products and are able to market OrganoWood® to a much wider audience. We will be a very attractive alternative wood to the traditional material choices for patios, facades and other wooden structures." says Jens Hamlin, CEO OrganoWood.
Architects, builders, landscape designers, and other professionals are attracted by OrganoWood® for many different reasons. Some falls for the beautiful silver-gray surface share, that appears after approximately a year of weather exposed wood. Others want a toxic-free outdoor environment for children, some need flame retardant facades with proper fire ratings, the benefits are many and the applications endless.
