Carbotech Group, Finnos Announces Partnership

Carbotech Group is pleased to announce a collaboration agreement with Finnish company Finnos. As a result of the agreement, Carbotech Group will become the exclusive distributor of Finnos’ innovative products.

Through its Autolog business unit, Carbotech Group will be working with Finnos on projects involving X-ray systems and wood grading at sawmills and planing mills, for both hardwood and softwood species. Autolog’s expertise will allow it to provide local technical support to the customers resulting from this new collaboration.

Finnos was founded in 2016, early in the sawmill industry’s digitalization era, and took on a pioneering role in the sector right from the start. Finnos is a trailblazer in AI-based scanning technology, offering superior X-ray solutions for sorting logs and transverse scanners for grading sawn timber. Finnos has grown from a group of 7 to over 130 professionals. It has 120 X-ray systems installed in 13 different countries, making it a world leader in manufacturing X-ray systems for logs. The company has recently put two of these systems into operation in North America.

“We are delighted to be able to collaborate with Finnos on business development and optimization projects involving internal and external scanning systems for different species of wood. With this partnership, the two companies will be able to combine their respective expertise in the field of wood analysis to achieve superior performances,” comments Éric Michaud, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Carbotech Group.
