USNR, a division of Wood Technologies International, has acquired Timber Automation, an industry leader in wood processing equipment and technology. The combination solidifies USNR’s leadership position in providing equipment and technology to the global wood processing industry, adding more than 250 employees and over 200,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
The transaction will help Timber Automation gain wider market distribution for its state-of-the-art sawmill and woodyard equipment, while USNR will benefit from the addition of Timber Automation’s highly-skilled team members and production capacity.
“The addition of Timber Automation’s LogPro line of log yard equipment represents a major market expansion for USNR, and their Baxley products - including optimization, edgers, and lumber processing equipment - complement our product offering, providing our customers with more options of high-quality machinery,” said Dale Brown, President of USNR.
Terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Timber Automation also operates a manufacturing plant in Baxley, Georgia, and a technology center in Lévis, Quebec.
USNR, a division of Wood Technologies International, operates facilities across the United States, Canada, and Europe, including six large manufacturing plants.
