Penn York Lumbermen's visit Western Pennsylvania

On Monday, September 12th, PW Hardwood/MacDonald & Owen hosted the September meeting of the Penn York Lumberman’s Club at the Pinecrest Country Club. Close to 100 lumberman were in attendance for this meeting. Our owner, David Twite, addressed the attendees on the progress being made at MacDonald & Owen since the acquisition of PW Hardwood in June of 2010. This was without a doubt the best meeting of the year!

PW Hardwood/MacDonald & Owen Lumber Company has been an active member of Penn York Lumberman’s Club for many years.

Turkish Invasion!

In a joint partnership with the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission, MacDonald & Owen Lumber Company’s division in Brookville, PA hosted a group of lumber buyers from Turkey in August of 2011.

Six gentlemen, representing 5 hardwood lumber companies from Turkey, spent the day in meetings at Clarion University in Clarion, PA followed by a site visit to our Brookville, PA facility. All meetings attended by representatives of the Turkish lumber companies and by MacDonald & Owen’s sales and purchasing staff were deemed a success.

As a company, MacDonald & Owen is completely committed to the export market and would be willing to host any groups of buyers willing to come to either of our facilities—Sparta, WI or Brookville, PA. Contact MacDonald & Owen today if your company is interested in a tour of one of our facilities.

New planer line installed in Brookville, PA

MacDonald and Owen Lumber Company’s mission is to, “Achieving increasing levels of speed, accuracy, growth & profitability for the benefit of our customers, venders, . . . ” In July of 2011, our company took another step toward this goal. We installed a planer mill operation in Brookville, PA similar to the planer line we operate in our Sparta, WI facility. For the sake of service and versatility, we installed a Newman 382 planer with 80’ of pull chain to continue our goal of offering great “value” to our customers. This value comes in the form of custom sorting and packaging to ensure consistent products that meets or exceeds all of our customers’ expectations. Being challenged is what we thrive on--MacDonald and Owen is your vender to help you win!
