Maine Woods Pellet

What Maine Woods Pellet does

Maine Woods Pellet Company LLC operates a dedicated wood pellet fuel production facility on a 55-acre site in Athens, Maine. It is the largest pellet manufacturer in Maine with nameplate capacity of 100,000 tons per year. The facility produces pellets from sustainable wood sourced through ownership arrangements with Master Logger certified partners and a network of sawmills. All pellets are 100% wood with no additives, oils, plastics, or polystyrene, meeting strict quality thresholds of less than 1% ash, less than 0.5% fines, and less than 8% moisture.

The company sells pellets in three formats: 40-pound bags for residential/home use, ton or truckload quantities for wholesale accounts, and bulk shipments for industrial customers and export markets. Wholesale pricing and availability are handled directly through a sales representative (Scot Bubier), with multi-year contract pricing offered to large accounts. The vertically integrated raw material sourcing supports stable year-round supply and pricing. Annual production displaces an estimated 12 million gallons of fuel oil and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 260 million pounds.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of pellet fuel across retail, wholesale, industrial, and export channels. The company is privately held, operates as an LLC domiciled in Maine, USA, and has no disclosed parent company, funding history, or executive leadership beyond the named sales contact. The customer base is segmented across industrial buyers (primary), export customers, residential homeowners, and wholesale distributors, with no named customer logos publicly available.
