Burton Mill Solutions Acquires Moraska Saw
Burton Mill Solutions has acquired Moraska Saw Inc., a respected saw service and repair provider that has served the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin since 1973. Founded by Jim Moraska, the company has built its reputation on precise reconditioning work and dependable turnaround. Moraska services band saws, large- and small-diameter circle saws, carbide saws, and chipper knives. In addition to repair and sharpening, Moraska provides replacement parts.
The acquisition strengthens Burton Mill Solutions’ service presence in the Great Lakes region and expands the company’s product range in the area. Integrating Moraska’s capabilities into Burton’s broader network enhances regional support, expands service capacity, and provides customers with access to an even wider range of cutting tool products and technical expertise. Moraska Saw Inc. will be incorporated into Burton’s North American network of saw and knife reconditioning centers.
