Aanesland Treindustri<\/a> specializes in turning and milling large items, but the factory has very varied production, including flagpoles. Exports account for about 25%, mainly deliveries of playground equipment and masts for boats. The factory moved into new wooden premises in 2022. <\/p>\n

– Naturally, we chose wood for the new industrial building. This reduced CO2 emissions by 42%, so even though the building was about 10% more expensive, we made a conscious choice here. It’s positive for employees to work in an environmentally friendly building and many people come to see the building,” says the chairman, who explains that all building components are labeled to enable future reuse. <\/p>\n

– We have experienced that wooden hubs meet resistance from engineers, but these types of solutions were made by our ancestors, so it must be possible now too. Aanesland Treindustri is one of the partners in the “SirkTRE” project, and we are keen to develop new solutions that can also be dismantled. In order to deliver to the new Viking Museum, we developed a new solution for the roof, with a large number of different parts. It was fun to develop and deliver that solution,” says chairman Gunnar Adolf Aanesland. <\/p>\n
