A story from reality!
Once upon a
time... "Askungen" is Swedish for Cinderella, which makes
sense when you know what our business is. Askungen
specialises in wood fuel ash recycling – creating beauty
amongst the ashes. A sort of Cinderella ‘rags to riches’
story for founder Bo Pedersen.
Askungen Vital AB is a genuine family business based
in Markaryd, with operations throughout southern and central
Sweden. The company has grown by over 40-years of work in the
forest by logging, sprouting etcetera. From 1962 to 1990 Bo
Pedersen worked with lumbering at a company he ran with his siblings.
Bo early decided to become involved in the ash-recycling.
1990 Forestry Board announced after a interested lime
spreader and shortly thereafter Bo himself began to spred
lime on clearings and started the company Askungen Vital.
After 15 years environmental thinking he took a step further
and started working with wood ash recycling.
Nowadays the
company is run by Bo, his son Henrik and daughter-in-law
Karina. Since 1997, we are focused on ensuring the forests future
by helping it with ash recycling and liming. We
know how to spread in the forest without causing damage to
land or trees.
Bo Pedersen's long experience has been transferred to his
son Henry and the other machine drivers. Bo is a pioneer in
Sweden, which by his targeted stubbornness persuaded both
researchers and regulators in the perception that the ash is
great for the forest. |
