Procon

What Procon does

Procon OÜ is an Estonian private limited company headquartered in Peetri that delivers turnkey modular pellet-production solutions to small-capacity sawmills and wood-processing operators across the Nordic and Baltic region. Its core offering, marketed under the PROCON Module Energy brand and co-developed with Rematec GmbH, combines pre-assembled, factory-tested containerized modules — incorporating drying equipment from NEWeco-tec and downstream milling, pressing, and material-handling subsystems — into a single turnkey line designed for a compact footprint, single-operator management, and capacity of roughly 25,000 tonnes of wood pellets per year. The company sells exclusively via custom project quotations (no public pricing), backed by installation, commissioning, operator training, and ongoing technical support, with multi-language (English, Russian, Finnish, Estonian) website support and a sales team of roughly four people plus one board member.

In parallel, Procon distributes KFM Regelungstechnik industrial valves and control/safety equipment into paper, wood-processing, and energy customers, and in cooperation with NRG Box OÜ it develops the NRG Box automated 24/7 retail network for packaged bulk materials such as fuel pellets, charcoal, cat litter, and firewood. Several adjacent product categories — debarking, log chipping, drying, dry milling, granulating, transport, and packaging — are listed on the website but are explicitly under construction, indicating an unfinished product roadmap rather than active revenue lines. The company has no public listing, no disclosed investors beyond a €20,000 European Regional Development Fund grant in 2016, no parent entity, and no disclosed financial figures, consistent with a small, privately held industrial reseller/integrator.

Core offering

Procon OÜ designs, integrates, and delivers turnkey module-type pellet production plants (PROCON Module Energy) for small-capacity sawmills and wood processing facilities, combining equipment from partner manufacturers (Rematec, NEWeco-tec) with proprietary process control. The company also distributes industrial valves and control equipment from KFM Regelungstechnik for paper, wood, and energy industries, and co-developed the NRG Box automated 24/7 retail network for packaged bulk materials.

Product overview

Procon is an Estonian company offering turnkey complete solutions for energy production and usage, primarily focused on module-type pellet plants for producing fuel pellets from wood waste. The core product is the Module-type pellet plants solution (manufactured in partnership with Rematec). The company also develops the NRG Box automated retail network for 24/7 unattended sale of packaged goods. Additional product categories including debarking, log chipping, drying, milling, granulating, transport, and packaging are listed but remain under development. Procon resells products from manufacturers including NEWeco-tec (belt dryers), Rematec (complete equipment solutions), and KFM Regelungstechnik (control and regulation equipment).

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• NEWeco-teccoreTechnology or IntegrationNEWeco-tec is a leading European manufacturer of container, compact, and modular belt dryers. Procon resells and integrates NEWeco-tec drying equipment into their modular pellet plant solutions. Product portfolio includes waste dryers (NEWtainer SSW), sludge dryers (NEWtainer KS), paper sludge dryers (NEWtainer PS), digestate dryers (SUBSTRATOR), bulk dryers (ALLinDRYer), and biomass dryers (NEWtainer WOODY).
• Rematec GmbH & Co KGcoreTechnology or IntegrationRematec, founded in 2004, is a comprehensive supplier of technological and production equipment as well as agricultural engineering technology. They deliver ready-to-use solutions from planning through machine parts production, steel structures, and on-site assembly. The company has operated since 1946. Procon co-brands module-type pellet plants with Rematec.
• NRG Box OÜminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerProcon OÜ develops and builds automatic retail networks in cooperation with NRG Box OÜ, enabling 24/7 fully automatic sales of packed bulk materials and other packaged products (fuel pellets, grill charcoal, cat litter, fuel briquettes, firewood) without human intervention.

Direct peers

• Van Aarsen: Dutch designer and builder of feed and biomass pellet production lines, including turnkey plant delivery. Comparable to Procon on turnkey project model, but targets higher-capacity installations and has a broader feed-industry exposure.
• Amandus Kahl: German manufacturer of pellet presses and complete pellet plants with a long European installed base. Directly comparable to Procon on pellet-press and turnkey plant delivery, but serves a broader industrial scale and lacks Procon's compact, small-sawmill modular positioning.
• Münch-Edelstahl: German manufacturer of pellet presses, dies and complete pellet plants for wood and biomass. Directly comparable to Procon in pellet-press and plant offering, but at industrial scale without Procon's small-sawmill modular focus.
• La Meccanica: Italian manufacturer of pellet mills, hammer mills and complete pelletizing lines used in feed and biomass. Directly comparable to Procon's pellet mill / turnkey plant offer, with stronger manufacturing footprint but no small-sawmill modular specialization.
• CPM (California Pellet Mill): Global supplier of pellet mills, dies and complete biomass pellet plants used in wood, feed and biomass applications. Directly comparable to Procon in delivering pelletizing equipment to sawmills and biomass producers, but at substantially larger plant scale.

Broad incumbents

• Andritz: Austrian-listed global plant-engineering group with biomass pellet plants, wood processing and renewable-energy EPC under its portfolio. Overlaps Procon in pellet-plant equipment but operates at much larger scale and across many adjacent process industries.
• Bühler Group: Swiss global plant-engineering group with pelleting, drying and process integration used in feed and biomass. Comparable to Procon's turnkey, equipment-integration approach but as a broad incumbent serving many industries and customer segments.

Others

• NEWeco-tec: German manufacturer of container, compact and modular belt dryers whose drying equipment Procon integrates into its pellet plants. Adjacent ecosystem participant — a partner/supplier rather than a downstream competitor in pellet plant integration.
• Rematec GmbH & Co KG: German supplier of technological and production equipment with whom Procon co-brands module-type pellet plants. Treated as an adjacent/ecosystem participant because Rematec is also a Procon OEM partner rather than a downstream competitor in the small-sawmill niche.

Emerging players

• Muez-Hest: Emerging supplier of biomass briquetting and pelletizing equipment serving small and mid-scale producers. Partial overlap with Procon on small-scale biomass densification equipment, with comparable customer profile but no modular Nordic-Baltic positioning.
