About Vli Timber

Who We Are

Established in 2009, VLI Timber is a Lithuanian manufacturer and exporter of kiln-dried firewood for the European firewood market. We specialise in industrial-scale processing, modern kiln drying technology and responsible use of low-grade timber to deliver consistent quality for retail and wholesale partners across Europe.

Our team combines long-term industry experience with automated production lines and continuous digital monitoring, ensuring reliable year-round capacity and uniform product quality.

What We Do

We manufacture kiln-dried hardwood firewood and supply it in crates, net bags and branded VLI Timber plastic bags. Every stage – from wood sourcing and moisture control to cutting, sorting, stacking and final inspection – is monitored by qualified specialists to ensure predictable results at scale.

Our hardwood species include oak, ash, birch and alder, selected for balanced heating performance, stability and compatibility with different stove types.

Wood Sourcing and FSC® Certification

VLI Firewood is produced from logs sourced from responsibly managed forests under FSC® Chain of Custody (FSC-C109548). This ensures transparent origin, traceability and compliance with international sustainability standards across our supply chain.

Before entering production, logs are visually inspected, graded and sorted; non-standard or unsuitable pieces are set aside, while the best material proceeds to processing.

Precise Cutting, Sorting and Stacking

We cut firewood to standard lengths – 25 cm, 30 cm or other specifications – depending on client requirements. Each batch goes through multiple sorting stages to remove rotten or non-standard pieces, ensuring only uniform logs are packed for delivery.

Hand-stacking helps maximize crate density, improving transport efficiency and supporting stable B2B supply programs.

Advanced Kiln Drying Technology

Our industrial timber drying kilns reach temperatures up to 90°C and deliver firewood with moisture content typically below 18%. This heat-treatment supports consistent burning performance and helps ensure logs are mould – and pest- free.

Automated sensors monitor temperature, airflow and cycle conditions to achieve repeatable drying results in all seasons.

Firewood Industry 4.0

We apply Firewood Industry 4.0 principles to industrial firewood production through automation and data-driven process control. Real-time monitoring, continuous optimisation and efficient kiln cycles help us maintain stable quality and throughput, even during winter peaks.

This modern approach strengthens reliability for partners who require consistent specifications, volumes and delivery schedules.

Why We Use Low-Grade Timber

Low-grade timber refers to wood that does not meet visual or structural criteria for construction or furniture but remains fully suitable for energy use. It may include logs with irregular shapes, smaller diameters or cosmetic imperfections that do not affect heating performance.

When processed with proper kiln drying and quality control, low-grade timber becomes a high-value energy product. By using this resource responsibly, we support circular economy practices, reduce waste and improve overall timber utilization.

Kiln-dried low-grade hardwood provides strong and predictable heating performance while aligning with responsible sourcing and industrial production standards.
