The Last Show…

Wednesday, November 13th, 2019

We just returned from Tucson, Arizona where we attended the EWTA Info Fair, the premier supplier exhibition for companies to connect with North America’s leading engineered product manufacturers. It was a great event where we reconnected with old colleagues and made new connections. This show is the last one that Brunette is attending in 2019 and we are busy planning for all the exciting trade events that are coming up in the New Year.

Trade Show Set-Up Image

 

 

The first two shows are happening in February and both offer excellent opportunities for networking with colleagues and customers in the forestry, wood products and bioenergy industries.

The Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen’s Association Convention and Exposition (IHLA) is billed as the largest convention and trade shows of its kind in the Midwest. The Association’s 122nd annual event, showcasing new technologies and innovations in the hardwood market, will take place over three days — February 3-5, 2020 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Find out more here.

Running at the same time, is the 13th Annual International Biomass Conference and Expo in Nashville, Tennessee — the world’s premier educational and networking event for the biomass industry. Sponsored by BBI International, this show will feature “All Things Biomass” with an expected attendance of over 900 producers, partners and industry experts. Read more here.

Both events promise to be exciting and informative with the opportunity to meet with peers, receive timely information on important industry topics, catch up with old customers and develop new connections. They will bring exhibitors, industry professionals and attendees together to share with and learn from each other.

If you are attending either event, please stop by our booths and say hello!

Looking for a New Chipper?

Wednesday, July 25th, 2018

FOR SALE from stock — BRUNETTE Drum Chipper Model 6040.

The BRUNETTE Drum Chipper 6040 is specifically designed to produce quality chips from short material such as trim blocks, log ends, and lily pads.

The knife pocket is equipped with counter knives for easy replacement.

Brunette Presents at OptiSaw 2018

Tuesday, May 8th, 2018

Capital is an exciting word in the forestry industry. In the lumber mill business, considering capital expenditure means answering the question: Do you repair or replace, a major piece of equipment?

Patrick Browne ImageBrunette Machinery’s Patrick Browne will present a case study on this issue at OptiSaw — the one-day educational forum aimed at those involved in the sawmill business — happening on June 5, 2018 in Richmond, BC.

Patrick’s study focuses on the log singulator, an innovative machine that notably changed the forest industry in the 1980’s. He explores the pros and cons of investing in the most recent technology or repairing/maintaining existing time-tested units.

OptiSaw, presented by Canadian Forest Industries’ Wood Business, will feature Brunette’s case study along with other topics concerning the future of sawmilling.

Join us at this informative event on June 5th, 2018 at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, in Richmond, BC. This forum is geared to people associated with the sawmill industry —sawmill management and owners, process engineers, continual improvement managers, optimization staff, researchers and design consultants.
