About Fink Machine INC.
Fink Machine Inc. is a Canadian leader in biomass heating, district energy, and renewable energy systems. Based in British Columbia, we have spent nearly three decades helping communities, institutions, and businesses reduce heating costs, lower carbon emissions, and turn waste wood and wood residuals into reliable local energy.
A History Rooted in Practical Bioenergy Solutions
Founded by Burkhard Fink, Fink Machine began with a hands‑on approach to solving real‑world heating challenges. What started as a search for better ways to heat buildings while managing excess wood evolved into a career dedicated to biomass heat and bioenergy innovation. Today, Fink Machine supplies proven wood chip boilers, pellet boilers, and fully integrated biomass heating systems designed for long‑term performance and reliability.
Leaders in Biomass District Heating & Community Energy
Fink Machine is internationally recognized for developing Western Canada’s first privately owned, for‑profit biomass district heating system in Enderby, BC. Built without government subsidies, this landmark project proved that small‑scale district energy can be efficient, affordable, and commercially viable. Learn more about our approach on our District Energy Systems page.
Our systems support community energy projects across Canada, frequently using fuel sourced from forestry by‑products and wildfire mitigation, keeping energy dollars local while reducing environmental risk.
Award‑Winning Leadership in Renewable Energy
With more than 200 installations nationwide, Fink Machine has become a trusted name in low‑carbon, green energy solutions. In 2024, founder Burkhard Fink received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Canadian Biomass Awards, while Fink Machine Inc. earned an Honourable Mention for Company of the Year—recognition of our long‑standing impact on Canada’s bioenergy sector.

Testimonials
Randal Armitage
Kalamalka Research Station B.C. Ministry of Forests
Burkard was very easy to work with, he had a plan, he knew what he was doing, the biomass boiler installation went in very easily… They respond really fast in those shoulder seasons where I’m doing outside work and I’m really busy.
John Disney
Economic Development Manager Old Massett Village Council - Haida Gwaii
They know their stuff, they’ve proved it where they’ve put in these biomass boilers and some of them are just amazing. The greatest thing about Fink was the relationship. If you have a good relationship you can do anything.
Peter Robinson
Community Energy Association
This is really something special... This is a major way that small communities can really do something about carbon emissions and also in terms of generating business locally.
