Commenting on Viridis Merchant's latest transaction,
Christopher Robertson, Viridis' CEO said, "While much focus has been
placed on our international and industrial opportunities, we have developed a
large and loyal customer base in domestic home heating in the US northeast,
which has experienced double digit growth. The severe winter conditions
experienced this year have escalated interest in economically efficient, home
heating solutions. Our recently launched Viridis Merchants has been
instrumental in supplementing our production capacity with similarly high
quality products, adding thus far over 60,000 tons of additional wood pellets
to our overall product offering."
