A Strong Partnership with Expertise in Wood Processing and Bioenergy
Skookum, a well-established company in New Zealand, has extensive experience in the timber, biofuel, and bulk goods sectors. Known for its reliable services, Skookum offers everything from feasibility studies to comprehensive post-sales support. The company’s deep knowledge of these industries, combined with Vecoplan’s cutting-edge technology, makes this partnership an ideal fit for the country’s evolving markets.

As a global market leader with a full range of processing technologies, we recognize the immense potential of Vecoplan’s products, especially in the bioenergy and recycling sectors. Together, we can ensure these technologies are well-represented and supported in New Zealand.”
Transforming New Zealand’s Recycling and Renewable Energy Landscape
The partnership comes at a time when New Zealand’s markets are undergoing a transformation similar to the one experienced by European markets 15 to 20 years ago. Recycling, renewable energy, and alternative fuels are becoming increasingly vital to the country’s industrial landscape. Vecoplan’s robust portfolio of products, from advanced shredding systems and conveyor technology to complete processing lines, aligns perfectly with this shift.
As the demand for sustainable solutions in timber processing and bioenergy grows, Skookum’s established position in these sectors makes them the ideal partner for Vecoplan.

The two companies will work together to provide tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of local industries, ensuring efficient processing and the effective use of resources.
The partnership also positions Vecoplan to expand its footprint in the region, offering not just products, but also end-to-end support, from installation to aftercare. With Skookum’s expertise in local markets and Vecoplan’s world-class technology, the partnership promises to deliver comprehensive solutions that drive growth and enhance the sustainability of New Zealand’s wood processing and bioenergy industries.
