With the agreement, Hankkija’s offering will expand in the area of energy business. Hankkija wants to be involved in modern, responsible and growing business that reduces greenhouse gases and promotes energy self-sufficiency and nutrient recycling in agriculture. The biogas plant produces electricity and heat for the farm from manure, grass and straw. The digestate produces a good fertilizer that is easy to apply. At the same time, methane emissions and odours from manure gases are reduced. The production and sale of biomethane can also create new business on the farm.
Demeca manufactures biogas plants in Finland and we have a modular structure and can therefore be adapted to farm-specific conditions. The connection of a biogas plant to a farm complex is always planned on a farm-by-farm basis. The total price of a biogas plant is determined by the selected features and equipment modules, such as the size of the digestion reactor and earthworks. It is possible to apply for investment aid for the investment.
Mika Kyyhkynen, Purchasing Director at Hankkija, is pleased with the new cooperation agreement: ”In accordance with Hankkija’s strategy and responsibility programme, we started looking for a strong partner for the biogas plant business. Demeca provides Hankkija with the best and most reliable partner on the market, with whom it is great to be able to cooperate. Demeca’s operations reflect reliability, appreciation and dedication to promoting Finnish agriculture and the well-being of people, animals and the environment. Demeca is already a significant player and market leader, and as a retailer, Hankkija wants to be part of a great growth story. We feel that now is exactly the right time to join forces and start fruitful and responsible cooperation.”
Sami Vinkki, Sales Director at Demeca, is delighted with the agreement: ”From the beginning of 2023, Demeca focused on the sales and production of biogas and manure processing solutions, as a result of which new operating models were sought to accelerate growth in order to develop the sales organization. At the same time, Hankkija approached with a cooperation offer, and negotiations conducted in a good team spirit led to a dealership agreement. We feel that Hankkija’s new strategy strongly supports our business and we are able to support Hankkija in implementing the strategy through our operations. Our attitude, openness and willingness to cooperate confirmed that Hankkija is the best partner for us.”
