Renovation and expansion of our headquarters

WIBAX expanding collaboration with SunPine

SunPine is extending and expanding its logistics collaboration with WIBAX. The agreement covers transportation and storage of products used by SunPine in biofuel production. This logistics collaboration is important from a perspective of sustainability, where WIBAX and SunPine supply chains supplement each other and minimise the distance driven by tanker trucks without cargo. WIBAX offers logistics solutions covering all of Sweden, employing about 20 people.

"WIBAX has been a logistics partner for SunPine since 2010, when SunPine began producing biodiesel at Haraholmen. Wibax transports tall oil on behalf of SunPine, from paper industries all over Sweden, and can use the return journeys to deliver inputs necessary for production at the mills. Avoiding empty mileage for tanker trucks in this way, allows us to provide a sustainable, efficient logistics solution, explains Magnus Sundström, CEO, WIBAX Logistics AB.

WIBAX is cleaning to maximise production capacity at Sunpine

Maintaining maximum production capacity at the Sunpine factory is important. That's why Wibax regularly cleans the factory heat exchangers, with products tailored to that particular use. Everything happens in a closed system, where all chemicals used in cleaning are then recycled into the production process – a sustainable way to clean.

Sunpine is a world-leading biorefinery, delivering innovative, sustainable products based on a waste product from sulphate pulp plants called tall oil. Tall oil is a raw material from the Swedish forestry industry, a sustainable industry in itself. Sustainability is a green, common thread, unifying operations at Sunpine, which is why a sustainable cleaning process, contributing to full production capacity, is important too. "We are very pleased that Wibax has developed a tailored cleaning product that efficiently removes build-up from inside our heat exchangers. In addition to maximising capacity, we can also see a positive impact on the longevity of the heat exchangers, as mechanical interference is minimised. Wibax' ability to assist us at short notice is another benefit, and all in all, we are very pleased with our collaboration", explains Andreas Bäckström, Production Technician at Sunpine.

WIBAX continues to convert asphalt plants for Skanska

Skanska continues to increase efforts to convert asphalt plants to bio oil operation, thereby lowering carbon emissions. Now, Skanska's ninth asphalt plant has been renovated and is ready for bio oil – the production of fossil-free heated asphalt is underway. WIBAX Industrial has built a mobile tank for the bio oil, allowing it to be moved closer to the source materials, thereby minimising the need for heated road transport. WIBAX offers a total solution for bio oil conversion, from storage to combustion and asssistance with Klimatklivet subsidy applications.
