Marth Wood Pellets

Marth Wood Pellets was once a well-known Wisconsin-based manufacturer of both hardwood and softwood heating pellets. For years, the brand offered solid mid-range performance and was a popular choice across the Midwest. However, Marth has since been acquired by Lignetics, Inc.—one of the largest wood pellet manufacturers in North America.

Following the acquisition, Lignetics transitioned the Marth brand away from residential heating fuel and into wood animal bedding products. Today, Marth-branded products are marketed as Marth Wood Shavings and Softwood Pellet Bedding, designed for equine, livestock, and small animal use rather than pellet stoves or furnaces.

Availability: You’ll still find Marth-branded bags in retail stores and farm supply outlets throughout the Midwest, but these are bedding pellets only—not certified or intended for heating applications. The former Marth heating pellets are no longer in production.

Bottom line: If you come across Marth products today, keep in mind they’re now exclusively animal bedding under the Lignetics family of brands. For home heating pellets, check out other Lignetics-owned lines such as Lignetics Wood Pellets, Bear Mountain, or Golden Fire.
