BID Group Purchasing Smith Sawmill Service
BID Group has entered into an agreement to acquire Smith Sawmill Service. The transaction further expands BID’s product and service offerings to include the essential recurring saw and tooling capabilities required to support modern wood processing operations.
Smith Sawmill Service is one of the largest suppliers and service providers of saws, cutting tools, filing room equipment, and critical consumable products to the wood processing industry. Smith serves the North American market with both proprietary cutting technologies and industry-leading brands. With locations in Texas, Louisiana and North Carolina, Smith is a recognized service leader, equipped to meet the growing customer demand for personalized saw and knife repair and reconditioning solutions.
“The combination of our organizations’ capabilities is a natural fit given our shared emphasis on excellence in total customer experience,” says Steven Hofer, BID Executive Vice President, Strategy and Business Development. “Incorporating the Smith product and services into our BID turnkey and wood process system offerings further complements the investments BID has made in the development of its own cutting tools solution, Blade.”
“I am incredibly pleased with the opportunity to unite with an industry leader like BID,” adds Paul Smith, President and CEO of Smith Sawmill Service. “I would like to thank our team for their dedication and hard work to build a thriving business.”
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.
