Wisconsin based Multitek North America expands its forestry machinery lineup with recent acquisition of Wood Beaver Forestry. In continuing with the company’s growth and diversification strategy, Multitek North America, LLC announced today the acquisition of Hartford, Wisconsin based Wood Beaver Forestry. Established in 2007 Wood Beaver Forestry manufactures a lineup of wood processing machinery including firewood conveyors, bundling equipment, firewood processors and support equipment related to firewood production. Company President, Douglas Kamps states “Our addition of Wood Beaver will further grow our forestry machinery line and enable us to better serve both small and large producers of firewood. This addition will enable Multitek to add industry leading service, support, and sales throughout its new Wood Beaver line. Scott Eifler, former President of Wood Beaver Forestry said he sees Multitek as the ideal suitor to take his business forward. “We have worked with Wisconsin based Multitek on many occasions in the past and we feel that our clients will benefit greatly from Multitek’s focus and deep roots in the firewood processor industry.” Multitek’s global footprint and additional expertise in engineering, hydraulics, manufacturing, and sourcing will benefit Wood Beavers growing lineup of firewood processors and accessories. Multitek’s full service production facility and manufacturing aligns the two companies for continued product and service expansion and will harmonize best in class offerings from smaller producers of firewood on up to the largest in the world. Manufacturing of the Wood Beaver line is moving to Multitek’s Tomahawk and Prentice, Wisconsin facilities immediately to bring additional advanced manufacturing techniques and abilities to further harmonize the two product lines.
