LTD "JAUDA KOKS" TODAY
Nowadays Suntažu factory is equipped with
two 24 m long autoclaves
rough and smooth peeling machines
unique 26m long solid wood kiln drier, allowing us to prepare wood for impregnation in approximately 10 days

Project title: Sustainable reuse of wood from removed utility poles (SuReUP)
Project No: 1.1.1.3/1/24/A/012
Implementation time: 01.10.2025. – 30.09.2028.
The project is implemented within the framework of the “European Union Cohesion Policy Programme 2021–2027” specific support objective 1.1.1. “Strengthening research and innovation capacity and introduction of advanced technologies in the common R&D system” measure 1.1.1.3. “Practically Oriented Research”.
Scientific manager: Dr.sc.ing. Dace Cīrule (dace.cirule@kki.lv)
The objective of the project is to support the wood industry in more sustainable use of resources by providing the necessary knowledge and developing a strategy through to change the current fate of discarded UPs to more sustainable options, including the development of valuable solid wood products with high bio-durability and low input of primary resources. The project aims to perform a comprehensive study of changes in wood properties caused by a prolonged contact with second-generation wood preservatives and the effects of weathering, and to develop approaches for using discarded utility poles to create new solid wood products suitable for use in environments with an increased risk of biodegradation. The knowledge gained will also be useful for the rational reuse of other types of impregnated wood materials, promoting the transition to more sustainable consumption and conservation of resources, both wood and biocides. During the project, it is planned to manufacture two groups of prototypes: a solid wood product containing the required amount of preservative but using minimal additional biocidal resources, and two glued prototype types. A life cycle assessment will be performed for the new products to objectively evaluate their environmental impact compared to similar products made from virgin wood.
Planned results: 3 scientific publications, reports in 3 international conferences, 3 types of prototypes and their LCA, 8 data sets deposited in open-access repository, recommendations for the sector.
The project is implemented by the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry and Ltd. “Jauda-koks”.
The planned total eligible costs of the project are 683 022.50 EUR, including ERDF and state funding of 600 000 EUR.

Company history
"Jauda-koks " LTD is a private company which was founded when Latvia got the independence in 1992. Company privatized two manufacturing factories - Suntazi and Kandava, where wooden poles were produced since sixties. Since the same people continued to work in new company, we can say that "Jauda-Koks" LTD is one of the oldest impregnation companies in Eastern Europe. For some time in local market Jauda-koks was the only impregnation service provider with water-soluble wood preservatives, and all the leading woodworking companies used our service. After Soviet system collapsed and demand in domestic market reduced, we had to adapt to the new market conditions, and started our export activities. In 1995 "Jauda-Koks" LTD bought high-quality peeling machine FML-10 from German manufacturer „Bezner”. Smooth peeled wood poles for many years was the main export product of all leading impregnation plants in Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Scandinavia and other countries, where manufacturers had already many years of experience in export markets. Since then, the wood poles are manufactured in accordance with conditions of international standards: BS-1990, NF C 67-100, ANSI O5.1, EN-351, etc. At the beginning of the century, "Jauda- Koks" LTD gradually began to conquer the market of impregnated poles with deliveries directly to the customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Due to the outstanding quality and gained trust, the orders of impregnated poles increased, allowing "Jauda-Koks" LTD to abandon any export of untreated poles, but selling product with a high added value instead. EU biocides directive in the 2006 prohibited wood preservatives containing arsenic and many impregnation companies had to find the alterantive. Jauda-koks LTD modernized Suntazi factory and started impregnation with wood preservative Tanalith E. The improved efficiency of production allowed us to produce the necessary amount of poles in one factory and we were able to use our second factory to start another business.
