Who We Are

North America’s Top Wood Pellet
Manufacturer

Energex began operations in 1993 when we obtained our Lac-Mégantic, QC facility from Shell Oil Company. Shell Oil built the plant in 1981, making it one of the oldest wood pellet facilities in North America. We still produce quality wood pellet products at Lac-Mégantic today, and recent renovations made us even more efficient. Our Quebec softwood pellet plant makes our Premium Softwood Blend and Premium 100% Softwood pellets. You can count on the Lac-Mégantic pellet plant to provide only the best softwood pellets.

Seven years into our business operations, we realized we needed to expand to the mid-Atlantic, United States. In 2000, we merged a West Virginia pellet plant into a Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, plant, which acts as our hardwood pellet plant and now corporate headquarters. The Hardwood Premium, Hardwood Super Premium, and Ol’ Hick Cooking Pellets all come from our Mifflintown facility. Our convenient location in the center of the state lets us deliver pellets in bulk to most areas of Pennsylvania. When you buy our hardwood pellets, you’ll see why they call us the top hardwood pellet manufacturer in the mid-Atlantic.

Hardwood and Softwood Pellet Suppliers

Wood pellets serve a wide variety of functions in everyday life. We produce and sell wood pellets used for two different purposes:

  • Heating Pellets: Classic hardwood and softwood pellets provide clean, affordable energy. Keep your home warm all winter using our pellets without worrying about a hefty heating bill. Hardwood pellets burn at a slightly lower temperature than softwood pellets but can be more stable. Meanwhile, softwood pellets create slightly more heat for unusually cold days.
  • Cooking Pellets: To show our customers the capabilities of wood pellets, we started our Ol’ Hick product line. Ol’ Hick cooking pellets come from 100% hickory wood,100% applewood and also Jim Beam bourbon barrels — no added woods or ingredients. Use Ol’ Hick in your pellet grill to prepare meats and vegetables with a rich, smoky flavor. Choose the classic 100% hickory pellets or use the 100% apple pellets for a lighter, sweeter smoke.

we value quality

The Energex Standard

At Energex, we value quality, consistency and customer satisfaction above everything else. Many wood pellet manufacturers create their products without intensive quality control. This lack of attention results in inconsistent pellet appearance and function. However, to get the best fire burning, the customer needs pellets that work every time. That’s why we don’t just follow industry standards — we follow the Energex Standard.

Our company not only has a certification from the Pellet Fuels Institute’s (PFI) Standards Program but also goes above and beyond the requirements. All materials we receive go through testing in the onsite quality control laboratories with a dedicated lab technician at each facility. Any wood that doesn’t meet our standards for moisture, ash, and clean virgin wood fiber get sent back to the provider. The materials that make the cut continue through our carefully tested production, packaging, and shipping stages.
