Kiln Operators Society is the go-to forum for everyone working with lumber drying.

It is open to anyone involved with lumber drying in their daily work, regardless of whether they work with Valutec kilns or not.

When we meet, the aim is to provide participants with a genuine opportunity to share knowledge and at the same time grow in their professional role, by learning from the insights and experiences of industry colleagues. KO Society’s annual gathering is a highly appreciated event with this very focus, and contact is also maintained throughout the year via social forums and other platforms for knowledge exchange.

KO Society sets the standard for progress in lumber drying and highlights a factor that gives sawmills – and in turn, the entire wood industry – the opportunity to continue gaining ground.
