In the quiet town of Häglinge in Southern Sweden, Thord Andersson and Häglinge Ved have been active in the reshaping of the firewood industry since the company’s founding in 2001. Specializing in high-quality birch and oak firewood, Häglinge Ved produces 10 000–20 000 m³ of ready-to-use firewood annually. For the company’s founder and owner, Thord Andersson, success in this demanding field hinges on one thing: reliable, high-performance machinery.
Nobody knows firewood processors like Thord Andersson
Thord Andersson’s journey with Japa firewood processors is a testament to both innovation and loyalty. Although over the decades Thord also has tested other manufacturers’ products, none matched up to the quality, usability, and service he’s found with Japa. Since as early as 1989 – meaning even before Häglinge Ved – he has trusted them entirely. “When you work with firewood machinery as much as my workers and I do, it’s absolutely essential that they are safe, fast, and easy to use,” Thord declares. “Producing large volumes of firewood takes time, so the machines must also be efficient and dependable.”
From the Japa 600 and 700 in the early days to the Japa 2000 in 1998, and then a steady evolution through models like the 2100, 370, 375, 450, 385, 485, 435, and finally the Japa 505 Pro, Thord Andersson has witnessed at firsthand how each generation of firewood processors has improved in performance and safety. Today, Thord uses the Japa® 505 Pro with FEED 471 fully-hydraulic log deck for his operation.
“The price-quality ratio is excellent, and the Japa customer service has always been top-notch,” he adds. “That’s why I’ve stayed loyal to the same brand all these years. And our customers really appreciate the high-quality, even sized, and clean firewood we produce – thanks to Japa’s patented Perfect SplitTM and Perfect CleanTM solutions.”
For Thord Andersson, it’s not just about cutting wood – it’s about doing it right, every time. It’s no wonder that for the company’s customers, Häglinge Ved has become a symbol of professionalism, quality and consistency, powered by decades of experience and a trusting partnership with Japa.
