BID Group has received an order from Biewer Lumber to deliver its second greenfield sawmill complex project in the southern United States. Through its industry-leading, comprehensive turnkey solutions offering, BID will manage, design, build, equip, and provide full start-up services for the project.
The new operation will be fitted with BID’s leading product technologies, optimization software, and artificial intelligence. The sawmill will feature the new Comact Variable Tool Opening (VTO) Debarker complete with in-line variable Flare Reducer, Cant Optimization system, and TrimExpertTM . The planer mill will feature a Miller planer, Comact GradExpertTM with Artificial Intelligence, and the new SortPro lumber sorting software. The lumber drying will be performed with three DelTech continuous dry kilns.
Work on site will begin in the 1Q 2021 and startup of the sawmill is scheduled for December 2021.
“We would like to thank Biewer Lumber for their ongoing trust in BID. We delivered our very first new generation greenfield lumber complex to the Biewer team in 2016. Since then, we’ve delivered several similar projects. We are humbled and honored that Biewer has chosen to partner with us again for their next major growth investment,” said Alistair Cook, President and CEO of BID Group.
The privately-owned BID Group is one of the largest integrated suppliers to the wood processing industry.
