Brunette Machinery is pleased to announce and welcome our new team member, Tim Saunders, specializing in Business Development. Previously affiliated with companies such as Canfor and Conifex, Tim is now an integral member of our sales team, whose expertise will further support our customers.
Tim combines his 25 years of business experience with a passion for the technological growth of the forest industry. His electrical and automation background, as well as his extensive work in multiple areas of plant management, make a welcome addition to our already resourceful group.
The majority of Tim’s career has revolved around the forest industry where he developed an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the sector. His experience in this field encompassed many roles, such as: control system design, machine/plant commissioning, troubleshooting, sawmilling flow and strategies. The scope of his work ranged from project development including budget creation, risk analysis, managing stakeholder relationships through to project execution and completion. Asked to describe what he does, Tim’s response is “Combining the identification of productivity opportunities with innovative control solutions for optimum performance.”
Before he embarked upon his career in the industry, Tim graduated from the University College of the Cariboo as a Computer Automated Systems Technician in 2000. He also studied to be a Journeyman Electrician at SAIT in Alberta and attained his Journeyman status in 2004.
Tim and his wife, Jenn operate a 600+ acre farm 30 minutes west of Prince George and a burgeoning direct meat marketing business. They have 55 head of cattle, a dozen or so pigs and a flock of chickens. When they are not out in the field with the cows or in their 20’x60’ greenhouse, you can find them outdoors quadding or boating with their two young sons.

We’re in the news again! Read these two short pieces in the November/December issue of CFI magazine featuring Brunette Machinery.
In October 2018, we exhibited at the the 2018 TP&EE show in Portland, Oregon where we brought along two BIG machines — one of our Brunette Drum Chippers and the new CBI Magnum Force grinder. Check out the write-up in the magazine’s spotlight on 15 booths at the show that showcased the latest top-of-the-line equipment for the forestry industry.
There is also a short item about our Flare Butt Reducer in the same issue — read it here.
And if you missed the feature story on Carrier Lumber in the hardcopy of CFI magazine, you can read it in Wood Business, the online reach of Canadian Forest Industries magazine. It is a great article on Carrier Lumber’s Tabor sawmill and it mentions their most recent project — building the Brunette RTL (retract-to-load) Log Singulator.
