November 6, 2024

Accsys welcomes Bergsten Timber as a new Accoya distributor in Denmark, supporting the country’s growing momentum in sustainable construction. Bergsten Timber, a trusted name in the Danish timber market for over 15 years, is known for its strong network of partners, allowing them to offer a wide range of products and flexible solutions tailored to their customers’ needs. This partnership allows them to meet the growing demand for high-quality, sustainable wood products within Denmark’s construction sector.

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.”

Justin Peckham, Regional Head of Sales UK&I and Nordics, Accsys, states, “We’re delighted that Bergsten Timber has decided to become an Accoya distributor. 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.”
