A West Midlands joinery company has purchased a new wood waste heater to help lower the business’s carbon footprint and save money in the process.
Midland Mouldings is a family business, with three generations of experience in the industry. The business has been established since 1991, supplying joinery services and timber mouldings from its manufacturing base in Brownhills, near Walsall.
When Midlands Mouldings’ existing wood waste heater needed to be replaced, the company started looking at the heaters produced in the UK by Wood Waste Technology, and contacted the business to find out more.
“At Midland Mouldings, we’re committed to being as sustainable as possible with everything that we do,” explains MD of Midlands Mouldings, Tom Williams. “That’s why we’ve enjoyed the positive environmental benefits of owning a wood waste heater, to recycle all our wood offcuts and create heat for the factory. We’d heard great things about Wood Waste Technology’s heaters, so rather than re-purchasing the same machine from the original supplier, we ordered a WT10 instead.
“We’ve been delighted with the new heater. As it is newer, it’s so much more efficient than our older model. The new heater can heat the whole factory, whereas there were always a few cold patches that the heat didn’t reach with the old heater. It’s now a much nicer temperature for our team of ten people to work in.
“Whilst our main driver for the purchase was to be more self-sufficient and sustainable, we can’t ignore the huge cost advantages that a wood waste heater gives. There is no other use for the offcuts, so, without the wood waste heater, they would simply have to be disposed of. This way, they have a positive use, to heat the factory. Buying a wood waste heater is the easiest investment decision we’ve ever made, with a great payback.
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience of using Wood Waste Technology. The wood waste heater does everything promised, but it’s not just about the product. From the team in the office to the engineers who installed it, everyone has been so friendly and helpful, making the whole experience an absolute pleasure.”
MD of Wood Waste Technology, Kurt Cockroft adds: “From our view, once a business has experienced the benefits of a wood waste heater, they will never want to be without one again! And especially in the current economic climate when businesses are trying to reduce operating costs and expenditure. We’re thrilled that the team at Midland Mouldings is so pleased with the new heater.”
