USNR Parent Company Acquires Norwood Sawmills
USNR, a global supplier in wood processing technologies, is pleased to announce that Norwood Industries, a supplier of portable sawmills, has joined its corporate family. Norwood will operate as an independent sister company alongside USNR, Burton Mill Solutions, and Mid-South Engineering from its home base just north of Toronto, Ontario.
Norwood portable sawmills, originally introduced in 1993, have earned a reputation for innovation and rugged reliability, with more than 35,000 sawmills sold across 100+ countries. Backed by more than 85 patents, the company’s highly configurable product line includes portable band sawmills, chainsaw mills, forestry tools, and accessories tailored to individual hobbyists, landowners, and small business owners throughout North America and Europe. Norwood’s offerings range from entry-level models to high-capacity hydraulic sawmills, all designed to be modular and upgradable to meet evolving customer needs.
“This acquisition launches us into a segment of the wood products industry that we have not previously touched,” says Dale Brown, CEO of USNR parent company, Wood Technologies International. “Norwood’s strong brand, patented innovations, and direct-to-consumer eCommerce model complement our existing portfolio and extend our reach to a new and growing customer base. The addition of Norwood aligns with our strategy to diversify and grow our capabilities across the wood processing value chain.”
