“Our facility expansion represents a significant step forward for TimberPro, and we were glad to be able to showcase our enhanced capabilities to the community,” said Doug Morris, VP, Forest Machine Business Division, Komatsu.
“Forestry is very important to the Wisconsin economy, and this expansion will enable us to provide more good family-supporting jobs, while also allowing us to enhance our research and development capabilities and significantly increase our production.”
TimberPro was founded by the Crawford family in 2002. The Crawfords have been involved in the forestry business in Wisconsin for more than 75 years, and in recognition of their contributions, the new expansion was dedicated to the family. TimberPro was acquired by Komatsu in 2019.
“This expansion will also allow us to enhance our R&D capabilities and significantly increase our production of existing and new products,” said Lee Crawford, CEO, TimberPro.
