American Peat Technology (APT) continues to expand its capacity to meet a growing demand for its reed-sedge peat products.
Officials from Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative (MLEC) and APT gathered at the Aitkin production facility to celebrate another milestone in the company’s growth: equipment financing secured through the MLEC revolving loan fund.
Using a $132,000 loan approved by the MLEC board of directors at its regular meeting on Nov. 16, APT will invest a total of $165,000 in equipment that will help the company harvest and handle reed-sedge peat, before refining the raw material into products used in agricultural and water treatment applications.
