Comact, a global leader in high-performance OEM wood-processing technologies, has announced the completion of its acquisition of Oleson Saw Technology, a well-established leader in wide bandsaw blade manufacturing. The transaction strengthens Comact’s cutting and saw technology offering and further expands its aftermarket and consumables portfolio for the wood processing industry.

We are pleased to welcome the Oleson team and to build on their legacy together while continuing to support customers with reliable, high-performance solutions.”
