German Pellets, the world's largest manufacturer of wood pellets, announced that it will open its first U.S. wood pellet manufacturing facility in Texas. During the Interpellets exhibition in Stuttgart earlier this month, German Pellets announced that it would repurpose a chip mill in Tyler County and produce 550,000 tons of pellets annually. “One advantage of building on this site is the possibility of using the existing supply structures and infrastructures, especially with respect to raw material supply,” said German Pellets' CEO, Peter Leibold. The company indicated that supply agreements had already been signed with local forest owners to provide raw materials to the plant.

German Pellets Texas, LLC will ship pellets to Europe starting in 3Q2012, when the plant will be completed. Full report.
