Dorna Eco House defines the year 2024 in three words: technology, creativity, competitiveness

The evolution of companies that have dared to dream ahead and contribute to the transformation of the timber construction industry deserves to be followed with attention and appreciation. Dorna Eco House is one of the stories worth telling because it's about people who believe in the power of wood to create sustainable homes and the modern technology that makes it possible.

Year of completion of a major investment program

2024 was a year of transformations for the factory in the beautiful Dorn. The production hall received new, state-of-the-art machinery, as well as a photovoltaic panel system - an important step towards the sustainable future that the company promotes with every home it builds. The investment project co-financed by the Regional Operational Program 2014-2020 included the purchase of high-performance machinery and the installation of a 150 kWh photovoltaic panel system. This system not only optimizes energy costs, but also actively contributes to reducing the carbon footprint, an essential aspect in today's context of sustainability.

With the commissioning of the new machines, Dorna Eco House has raised the level of its manufacturing process. Equipment purchased includes:

CNC beam machining and CNC panel machining, ensuring precision and versatility.
Specialized lines for housewalls and lumber optimization that increase efficiency and reduce material waste.
The timber dryer and the automated sawdust-fired heating plant, which contribute to a sustainable production process using secondary resources.

These are investments that have not only increased the capacity and productivity of the factory, but also raised quality standards, guaranteeing structures that are not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing.

The focus on the Romanian market has brought important achievements and much satisfaction

And since we're talking about houses, this year they have been popping up in some of the most diverse places in Romania. From cozy cottages in the Danube Delta to imposing residences in Sinaia and from bold projects in Sibiu to architectural realizations in Arad and Baia Mare, each project brought with it unique challenges and innovative solutions, contributing to the team's expertise.

Behind these achievements are the people - engineers, designers, skilled workers - who have embraced change and learned to work with new technologies, the experience of veterans intertwined with the enthusiasm of newcomers to the team. With the future in mind, the Vatra Dornei factory also opened its doors to students from the Faculty of Construction in Iasi, who were able to practice in the design office and work on the new machines.

The interest in the Romanian market has led Dorna Eco House to intensify its promotional efforts, participating in the nZEB construction fairs in Bucharest and Cluj. On these occasions it demonstrated its ability to deliver modern energy efficient building solutions, attracting the interest of the public and partners. Website optimization www.dornaecohouse.ro is part of the same desire to increase its visibility, making its online presence much stronger.

The European market was not neglected either

The attention paid to the Romanian market has not meant neglecting the activity successfully carried out for many years on the European market. On the contrary, new investments have brought an intensification of activity and collaboration with construction companies in Europe for the implementation of various projects.

Modern equipment enabled the delivery of advanced construction elements such as fully finished, insulated walls with built-in thermal installations or beams, columns and other structural elements treated and finished in the factory. The packaging and weather-proofing process has also been optimized, ensuring efficient and safe delivery to construction sites abroad.

The integration of advanced construction elements has significantly reduced assembly time on site. This logistical simplification has been a major competitive advantage, providing customers with fast and efficient solutions for their projects.

Behind success is a dedicated team

Dorna Eco House has demonstrated that tradition and innovation are not opposites but complementary concepts in the timber construction industry. Through its projects in the country and its visible presence on the European market, the company demonstrates that Romanian wood, processed with state-of-the-art technology and respect for the environment, can be used to build houses that stand the test of time, thus adding value. It's a story that reminds us that behind every wooden house is a dedicated team, advanced technology and above all, a vision for a more sustainable future in construction.
