New England Wood Pellet, which started producing pellets in the early 1990's, has opened a new pellet manufacturing facility in Schuyler, New York. New England Wood Pellet moved to New Hampshire from Massachusetts in the late 1990's. Since then they have added a sawdust dryer to expand their raw material options, a truck dump, and an on-site warehouse which has helped them ramp up production and accommodate 150,000 ton annually. The new mill will have the capacity to run 100,000 ton per year although it is unlikely that it will start with maximum production. The company also has a contract with a Canadian company that ships unbagged product into Massachusetts, where New England Wood Pellet has a processing facility to bag and distribute product in a New England Canadian branded bag.
The Jaffrey, NH plant services most of the New England states, and the New York plant will primarily focus on serving New York state. “There is opportunity here in the region for raw materials, a work base and a place for the market to grow,” Plant Manager Paul McCarthy said Friday at the grand opening of the facility at the Schuyler Business Park.
The new mill will employ around 20 people, and cost almost 11 million to build. The plant had it's grand opening on December 7, 2007.
