BID Group has announced a partnership with ArbaBlox Inc. to build a state-of-the-art turnkey composite pallet block plant in Winona, Miss. BID will manage, design, build, install and provide startup services for the $53 million project, the largest of its kind in the country.

The new operation will incorporate BID’s OPER8 platform, the purpose-built, out-of-the-box industrial IoT solution. Wood panel expert, IMAL-PAL Group, will provide the equipment and technology for the project.

“ArbaBlox is pleased to have BID Group as its turnkey partner for its new state-of-the-art composite pallet block manufacturing facility. We chose BID because of their excellent track record in delivering integrated projects within the wood processing industry and we are delighted to have them on the Winona project with us,” comments Ed Milburn, CEO at ArbaBlox.

Work on site will begin in the fourth quarter of 2022 and commissioning of the facility is scheduled for the first quarter of 2024. Fiber supply for the plant will come from Biewer Lumber’s Winona, Miss. facility.

ArbaBlox and the BID Biomass Team will begin the development phase of a second project late in 2022.

“We would like to thank ArbaBlox for their trust in our people and integrated solutions,” says Travis McDonald, Executive Vice President, Integrated Solutions at BID. “The ArbaBlox projects will be the first of many for the BID Biomass Division which intends to deliver value-added solutions for sawmill residual products.”
