We are proud to announce Société en Commandite Onimiskiw Opitciwan (SCOO) has selected Wellons as a supplier for the construction of their new biomass cogeneration plant. Wellons will provide and install two 12-megawatt thermal oil heaters in the fall of 2025, with a projected commission in 2026. These thermal oil systems will power a Turboden ORC to provide electricity to the Atikamekw First Nations Community of Opitciwan in the Mauricie region of Quebec. The intent of this project is to displace the existing diesel-fired Gensets currently supplying electricity to the village.
“These boilers will effectively meet the energy needs of our community, while promoting green and innovative practices,” said Denis Clary, Chair of the Board of Directors of the SCOO. “We are delighted to collaborate with Wellons Canada, a leader recognized for its technical expertise and commitment to innovation.”
April 25, 2024 – Wellons is pleased to announce affective May 1st 2024, Pat Thornton, the current President of Wellons Canada, will assume the role of President / CEO of the Wellons Group. Pat will be replacing Martin Nye, the majority shareholder, whom has been the President / CEO for more than 30 years.
For over 50 years, Wellons has been a leader in providing biomass-fired energy systems, lumber dry kilns, and related products and services to the forest products and industrial power industries. We provide our customers with complete services in design, engineering, and manufacturing, as well as installation services and technical assistance. Martin has built up a successful and financially sound, customer focus business and will remain helping in a reduced capacity providing support to Pat where needed through this transition.
We are excited to announce that Wellons Canada has acquired Séchoir MEC.
This acquisition provides the opportunity to become the foremost expert and supplier of lumber drying kilns in North America. By combining our strengths and resources, we aim to create a stronger, more innovative and competitive presence in the marketplace.
