“The success we’ve had has resulted in an opportunity to go deeper with our Equipment Partners,” added DeGeest. “For the first time ever, our partners are bringing our automation solutions into their product lines. This allows us to collaborate on bringing our technologies together to offer an even more robust system along with service to our mutual customers.”

“We are excited to bring more automation solutions to the Wood Industry in addition to flat lines,” said Kevin Higgins, Vice President of Sales/Distribution with Sames Kremlin. “We can now look to combine the two proven technologies. This automation push in wood is essential to growth in today’s market and economy.”
