WOODLAND, Wash. — Burton Mill Solutions has acquired Menominee Saw & Supply, based in Menominee, Michigan. The acquisition marks the third such similar deal since October.

Menominee, the company says, specializes in supporting wood processors in the Northern Great Lakes region and across the Midwest by supplying and reconditioning a variety of industrial cutting tools, including machine knives, small- and large-diameter circle saws, and wide and narrow band saws. This acquisition significantly expands Burton's geographic footprint and enhances its technical capabilities, enabling it to provide better service to primary wood producers. 

With the addition of Menominee, Burton strengthens its already comprehensive technical expertise in wood processing technology, including saws, knives, filing room equipment, technical services, and industrial wear parts.

In October, Burton Mill Solutions made two acquisitions. Early in the month, Burton Mill acquired Industrial Cuƫting Tools (ICT), based in Quitman, Georgia. ICT specializes in reconditioning industrial cuƫting tools for sawmill, chip, and pellet operations throughout the Southeastern U.S. In late October, the company acquired Oregon Industrial, based in Eugene, Oregon. The company operates a bandsaw blade weld center, specializing in precision tooth matching. 

In regards to the latest acquisition, Chuck Wert, senior vice president of Burton, commented, “We are excited to work more closely with the Menominee team. This partnership will allow us to elevate our service offerings and better address the needs of our customers in the Midwest.”

John Brock, general manager of Menominee, added, “Burton has been [an] important partner for many years, but by joining forces, we’ll be able to significantly expand our network and capabilities. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together.”

Dale Brown, CEO of Burton Mill Solutions and sister companies USNR and Mid-South Engineering, said, “this acquisition aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency in the wood processing industry.”

Menominee’s Great Lakes location will complement Burton’s existing network of saw and knife reconditioning service centers in Maine, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana.
