Accoya and Tricoya have been named the Best Wood Innovation in Holland’s Houtwereld 2012 Top Suppliers Awards.
The awards, now in their fifth year, celebrate commitment to quality and excellence within the timber industry.
Over 2,700 votes were cast by Dutch and Belgian professionals, as well as members of the import, trade, carpentry, manufacturing and construction industries and readers of Houtwereld.
They recognised Accsys Technologies, manufacturer of Accoya and Tricoya wood elements, for its truly innovative approach to timber and wood based panels, as well as its pioneering technology.
Accoya is one of the most advanced wood products on the market, using leading wood modification technology to deliver outstanding levels of performance, stability and durability. It is created by using a proprietary non-toxic process called acetylation on sustainably sourced woods. This results in an attractive wood which matches or exceeds the properties of tropical hardwood, and which is perfect for a variety of uses including windows, doors, external cladding, decking and inspirational structural projects.
Marleen van Herwijnen Chief Editor of Houtwereld, explained: “Accoya has triggered a revolution in the timber sector due, in part, to its superior quality and extreme durability. Accoya continues to be an innovative product which provides the timber industry with an unprecedented scope of opportunity.”
Paul Clegg, CEO at Accsys Technologies, said: “It’s a real credit to see Accoya and Tricoya recognised amongst the best in the timber industry.
"This is the latest in a string of awards for Accoya, which has also recently won the Supreme Innovation Award at this year’s Timber Expo in the UK, and been awarded gold standard of Cradle to Cradle certification.”
