Hampton Goes With Comact In South Carolina
Comact has been selected as the equipment and technology supplier for Hampton Lumber’s new state-of-the-art sawmill in South Carolina. In addition to supplying the mill’s advanced systems, Comact will be responsible for managing and executing the full construction and integration of the project, delivering a comprehensive solution from design to start-up.
“We’re excited to partner with Comact on this next-generation facility,” says Hampton Lumber CEO, Randy Schillinger. “Their proven track record in greenfield sawmill projects and advanced integrated technologies made them the ideal choice for our new mill in South Carolina. This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to safety, innovation and efficiency.”
The new Hampton Lumber facility in South Carolina will be purpose-built to process southern yellow pine and will feature advanced Comact technologies throughout. At its core is a high-performance 20-foot sawline, supported by three continuous dry kilns and a complete Comact planer mill. The entire site will be equipped with Comact’s AI-powered technology suite, including advanced scanners, Smart Vision, and the OPER8 digital platform.
Construction of the facility is scheduled to begin in 2025, with start-up anticipated in early 2027.
