An environmental challenge with foressens

The Foressens Group is a young and dynamic entrepreneurial reality that is operating in the French Jura since 1994. Led by its President, Pascal Jacquin, it is specialized in the working and development of the forest, in wood and its derivatives, with a careful approach to economic-social-environmental sustainability.
Foressens is inspired by circular economy models and it involves the younger generations in production responsibility, combines quality and flexibility, as demonstrated by the SIBC sawmill, which processes more than twenty essences.
Termolegno has built for SIBC three 120 m3 drying kilns and one 120 m3 steaming kiln, also intended for the vaporization of softwoods, today’s trend in the furniture sector. The challenge engaged was particularly demanding due to the need to adapt the systems to an extraordinary variety of treatments, offering the customer a practical IT management interface.
