What Halupuu does

Halupuu Firewood Products OÜ is an Estonian private limited company that produces and sells containerized firewood to residential customers across Estonia. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Lõpe küla, Pühalepa vald on Hiiumaa island, the company sells kiln-dried and seasoned firewood packaged in standard 1.8–1.85 cubic meter reusable containers, with SKUs across multiple species — black alder (sanglepp), birch, ash (saar), mixed hardwood, softwood, and sawmill residue — in raw or dried form and 26 cm or 40 cm split lengths. The company specializes in black alder (sanglepp), which it positions as a higher-calorific-value alternative to the grey alder more commonly sold in the market (1500 kWh/rm versus 700 kWh/rm at 20% moisture).

Halupuu operates a direct-to-consumer model with free container delivery and yard placement for the customer, plus a complementary empty-container pickup service. Distribution runs through an Estonian/Russian bilingual e-commerce website, phone and email ordering (Mon–Fri 08:00–17:00), and physical sales points in Tallinn, Keila, Haapsalu, and Kärdla. The 1–10-person operation has no disclosed investors, no parent company, no app or API, and no AI/ML components; revenue is generated purely through one-time container sales at unit prices ranging from €65 (sawmill residue, 1 m³) to €330 (dried rowan), varying by location, wood type, and moisture content.

Core offering

Halupuu produces, packages, and sells containerized firewood (1.8-1.85 cubic meter reusable containers) in multiple wood species — black alder (sanglepp), birch, ash, mixed hardwood, and conifer — offered as raw (TOORES) or dried (KUIVATATUD) products in 26cm or 40cm split lengths. The company delivers the containers free of charge directly to customers' yards across Estonia, with sales points on Hiiumaa island and in Tallinn, Keila, and Haapsalu on the mainland. It also sells sawmill residue byproducts in 1m3 containers and dried alder fireplace cordwood packaged in cardboard boxes.
