Valmet has received an order from The Price Companies to deliver a new debarking and chipping line to support increased wood chip supply at one of their operations in Georgia, the USA. The investment enables Price to meet growing demand and strengthen its position as the leader in woodyard operations in North America.
“As our company continues to grow and reinvest in larger and more robust sites, we chose Valmet to deliver a new log line to increase our wood handling capacity and secure more reliable operations. We have had a long history of experience and cooperation with Valmet and value the proven reliability of their wood handling equipment and have always been able to count on their strong local technical support,” says Frank Hutchison, Project Manager, The Price Companies.
“Valmet has long experience in wood handling around the world, and strong presence in the North American market. Being the largest independent wood yard operator in the United States, The Price Companies is a valued customer with whom we have strong cooperation throughout the operations lifecycle. In addition to this new line delivery, we deliver spare and wear parts, field and advisory services for Price. Their solution for the Georgia site represents high-technology and is designed for tree-length logs, high reliability and high capacity with stable chip quality,” says Tiago Silveira, Senior Sales Manager, Service, North America, Pulp, Energy and Circularity, Valmet.
