Woodsafe took home the ‘Project of the Year’ award at the Wood Protection Association (WPA) Award Event 2020.
For the sixth year, the award has become a popular annual event in the UK as a relevant and important part of the wood industry.聽

Mj枚stornets wooden fa莽ade is a Thermowood D Pine delivered by Woodify AS in Norway and flame retardant impregnated with Woodsafe Fire-X.
鈥淭he fact that Woodsafe takes home the prize in a fierce international competition is another measure of the value of our services and end product not only in the Scandinavian market but also internationally,鈥� says Market Manager Daniel Pesic.

WPA’s CEO Gordon Ewbank and the events host commented: 鈥淥rganising the 2020 award as an online event means that, despite Covid-19, our industry can still come together in a safe way to recognize and reward excellence.
鈥淭eam Woodsafe is honoured by this award and looks forward to the coming years with a series of new super cool wooden-projects in the pipeline,鈥� says Thomas Bentsson, CEO.
