NTL Brandimpregnering opens new production facility for fireproof wood in Åmål

There's nothing better than watching our portfolio companies grow and create new job opportunities across Sweden.

Advanced production facility in Åmål

NTL Brandimpregnering, a leader in fire protection solutions for the wood industry, is expanding its operations in the Nordics with a new production facility in Åmål. This new factory spans over 5,000 square meters of production space and marks a significant capacity increase for the NTL Group, which already includes Varmawood, Finland's first and only fire impregnation plant.

"In 2023, we successfully launched our first production facility in Lathis, Finland. Today, we are excited to expand into Sweden, a market with strong interest in sustainable building materials and a rapidly growing need for high-quality industrial fire protection solutions," said Vincent Parasnis, CEO of NTL Brandimpregnering. "Our new facility in Åmål is not just expanding our physical footprint, but also demonstrates our commitment to promoting safe wood construction across the Nordics.“

As part of the launch, NTL will also further expand its service offerings to include comprehensive fire testing and documentation advisory.

"Fire safety in timber construction is an important but complex area gaining increasing attention - here, we must collaborate with other industry players to drive progress," explained Martin Lindquist, Commercial Director at NTL. "Our goal is to equip architects, builders, and property developers with the knowledge and tools they need to increase the use of wood as a safe, sustainable choice for modern construction. Choosing a sustainable material should not be difficult.“

The Åmål facility is expected to start initial production in mid-2024, with capacity scaling up gradually throughout the latter half of 2024 and early 2025.
