The contract includes equipment for log handling, debarking, saw line, edger line, lumber sorting, and residuals handling. All optimisation and PLC control systems will also be supplied by USNR. Deliveries will begin in 2020, with commissioning in 2021.

”This order is a testament to USNR’s competence as an integrator and single-source supplier: all critical systems and components will be delivered and supported by us,” said Johan Johansson, CEO for USNR Sweden.

“The customer appreciates having a single contract partner for the entire equipment supply. This, and the fact that the customer values uptime, production capacity, and the long-term stability of our company, was clearly to our advantage in securing this order,”

BR-Wood is part Borwood, a group of twelve Belarusian timber industry companies which pools admin and marketing resources to benefit the entire supply chain.
