Thank You, TP&EE! We Had a Blast!
Wednesday, October 5th, 2022

It was a great show and we had a blast! This year’s Timber Processing & Energy Expo return to the Portland Exposition Center was a welcome event that we were excited to attend.
The attendees were as enthusiastic as we were to be at the show for three days of schmoozing, catching up and discovering what’s new in the sawmill and lumber industries. With over 800 exhibitors coupled with two stimulating conferences, this show had something for everyone in the timber industry.
We were happy to reunite with old friends, connect with new faces and form new partnerships, in real time. Moreover, it was energizing to be in a big room filled with people having conversations and sharing memories.
Team Brunette Comments
Our sales team had plenty of good things to say about this year’s event. A few of their comments were:
“This show was an eye opener for me, it was interesting and informative to see the competition up close and personal as well as having a chance to view equipment upstream and downstream from ours in a mill site.”
“My personal view on the show was excellent, great to be in front of customers once again.”
“No question, people were enjoying the meet and greet part of the trade shows, opportunities to shake hands and renew past friendships all were very visible.”
“It was exciting to see people out and about, milling around asking questions, shaking hands, just like old times!”
“It was a good experience with a great BMC team!”
Team Brunette had busy, exhaustive three days at the show, but overall had a great time at TP&EE 2022! We are already planning for the 2024 show!
Thank you!
Many thanks to our hard-working friendly sales team. [Pictured in the black shirts] Sonia Marchesini, Patrick Browne, Ryan Coates, Colleen Koustas, and Glenn Clarke.
Thank you to all of you who stopped by to say hello and talk shop with the team. Thank you as well, Hatton-Brown Expositions, an affiliate of Timber Processing magazine, for hosting this successful and well-organized event!

It’s a Wrap!
Monday, October 22nd, 2018
It was an incredible few days in Portland at the Timber Processing and Energy Expo! The event featured exhibits from major equipment companies and suppliers in the wood processing and timber markets — and included workshops examining topics ranging from artificial intelligence in the sawmill industry to the revival of the North American wood panel market. The show had something for everyone and was attended by top industry professionals from across the globe.
We brought along one of our Brunette Veneer Chippers (with permission from its new owner, Richmond Plywood) where it made a big splash on the floor of the Portland Exposition Center. Amid the oohs and ahs, the team had the opportunity to show off the chipper and explain all the advantages of our machines to the crowd. We also launched our newest product line at the expo: CBI Magnum Force stationary, electric horizontal grinders. While both pieces of equipment commanded a lot of enthusiasm, we heard that the hit of the show was the Brunette barbecue on Wednesday night!
Thank you, TP & Energy Expo, for a great show — see you in 2020!
