Burton Mill Solutions has announced its acquisition of Southern Saw & Wood, based in Hamburg, Ark. specializing in reconditioning small and large diameter saws, chipper knives, guides, cutting tool design and solutions, with pickup and delivery services.
This acquisition enhances Burton’s technical capabilities and strengthens their ability to provide exceptional service to primary wood producers. By integrating Southern Saw & Wood’s expertise into Burton’s network, Burton has expanded its comprehensive cutting tool reconditioning services and reinforces a commitment to new product and process development.
