Our story

In the beginning there was a garage, three young men and lots of enthusiasm and know-how – and so began the success story of the most popular firewood processor of all time, the Hakki Pilke. A burning desire to develop machinery that makes work easier and improves productivity in the agricultural and forestry industry drove the three friends and their company forward. Now, four decades later, firewood producers around the globe on six continents and in more than 35 countries trust in Hakki Pilke machines. For them we offer the latest high technology solutions and innovations, with which tens of thousands of firewood makers have improved their efficiency and maximised the results of their operations.

We at Hakki Pilke revolutionized the firewood production industry in the 1990’s with the revolutionary Hakki Pilke 2X and Hakki Pilke 1×37, the latter being the best-selling firewood processor in the world. The work has continued since then and still goes on, as the quality of Hakki Pilke is born from the desire of designing, developing and manufacturing the best firewood processors in the world. On top of this, working in close cooperation with our customers and dealers is at the center of our actions – we want to build a market-winning team.
