Podcomp

Podcomp is a company that develops and manufactures products in composite materials. The main product currently is prefabricated bathroom units for wooden buildings. The factory is located in the north of Sweden where electricity is renewable (hydro and wind) and the factory is heated with district heating that comes from spillage heat from two pulp&paper mills. Thus, the energy we use is already green and we are determined to also introduce more renewable materials in our production, be it in new products or replacing the ones we currently use. The factory in Öjebyn is 6000 m2 including a dedicated area for R&D and 400 m2 is allocated for establishing new production processes and products.
