Automatic Bagging System

In the easter of 2012, Vepaks founders worked with firewood production at a local farm. The question was raised as to why we were spending only one hour of splitting, resulting in the rest of the day being spent with bagging wood. We wanted to automate the process of packing bags to make it as quick as cutting and splitting, but the only options on the market were expensive and inefficient.

During 2012-2014 We made early mock-ups of a bagging machine, made contacts in the industry, applied for office space and gathered a team before founding Vepak AS in January 2014. We are now a dedicated core team and have a solid foundation to lead the way into the future of technology in the firewood industry.
