Their commitment to eco-friendly solutions, backed by FSC®, aligns perfectly with Accsys’ mission of providing highly durable, stable and sustainable wood products to the global construction market.

Jan Ipsen, Director at Bergsten Timber A/S comments, “Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, is working towards becoming the first carbon-neutral city in the world*, and building with timber plays a monumental role in achieving this. Partnering with Accsys, offering its durable and sustainable wood product, Accoya wood, is a step closer to bringing this vision to life.”

Their deep expertise and wide network in Denmark will be instrumental in meeting the growing demand for Accoya in the region. With 2023 figures showing that timber was used in 10-15% of new residential constructions in Denmark, alongside notable Accoya projects already established, we look forward to seeing how this partnership will further expand Accoya’s presence and create a lasting impact on Denmark’s construction industry.”
