Timber Processing Expo.png

Portland, Oregon USA
28-30th Sept. 2022

In September, Chris travelled over to the USA to attend the Timber Processing And Energy Expo. This was a great opportunity to meet with our American Suppliers and in most cases put a face to the name.

One of our largest suppliers, the Wood Fibre Group has recently renamed to Burton Mill Solutions. Under this banner falls Simonds International, Burton Saw & Supply, BGR Saws, Cut Technologies, U.S. Blades, Armstrong, Global Tooling and Wright Machines. 


Before the show commenced Chris got the chance to visit Burtons new facility in Springfield, OR as well as the Ridgefield, WA site.

Chris also met with Sharp Tool Company, Roseburg Saw & Knife and Peerless Saw Company. 

Although he was only there for a week, Chris was able to discuss with each of our suppliers future requirements for our Australasian customers and ways we can strive to improve and diversify after what has been a challenging two years.
