 The facility design is the result of 15 years of experience in the wood pellet manufacturing business, and is state-of-the-art in efficient pellet manufacturing. The plant site occupies 10 acres of developed ground, with all manufacturing and warehousing contained within a 30,000 square foot building. The balance of the plant site includes a 3-4 acre outdoor wood storage yard, including a 200'x200' covered greenwood storage structure, vertical silos for wood and pellet storage, access roadways for trucking, and parking for trucks and company employees.
Pellets are bagged on site and shipped throughout the Northeast. Some production is shipped via bulk delivery truck for use in larger scale central heating. Total raw wood residue and low grade timber purchases will amount to approximately 150,000-200,000 tons per year (50% kiln-dried, 50% green), providing a valuable new market throughout central New York State for clean wood residues from wood product manufacturing, and for low grade timber which exists in abundance throughout New York's forest land base.
Full-time employment at the plant is over 20 jobs, with considerable additional employment supported through wood purchases, trucking, and retail pellet sales. The plant generates over $10 million in annual purchases of goods and services for the local economy.
The facility solidifies New England Wood Pellet, LLC's position as the leading manufacturer and distributor of wood pellet fuel in the northeastern U.S., and one of the largest in North America.
