BALCAS Information

Balcas is a leading timber products supplier, and has pioneered biomass renewable energy in the British Isles. The business has grown organically, and through acquisition and investment in the latest processing technologies. Balcas’ timber products portfolio includes construction timber, fencing & landscaping products and pallet & packaging material. Balcas has led the development of the market for wood pellet fuel in Ireland and Britain. Balcas operates biomass Combined Heat and Power plants that produce renewable energy. Residual heat from electricity generation is used to dry locally sourced woodfibre that is then processed into high-energy fuel pellets - marketed under the company's brites brand, displacing 75 million litres of oil in homes, commercial premises and industry. We invest in training, competitive salaries and good employee benefits. Balcas provides 320 direct jobs in our rural localities and the same again in supporting organisations. Balcas is one of the largest employers in Fermanagh. We have had three generations of local families grow with us; be part of the story. We are a big supporter of local education. We are unequivocal about safety; we want everyone to return home safely, every day, whether directly employed or working on contract.
