. Minimal expansion after installation

. Up to 20 to 4fficost savings

FIRM specializes in wood components made at its Tennessee plant.

Precut Timber Supplier In Tennessee

Sauter Timber, Rockwood, Tn., held a grand opening last month at its new wood components plant in the town's Roane County Industrial Park.

"We precut timber for the timber frame business," said owner Reinhard Sauter. "There are other companies in Tennessee that precut their timber this way, but they do it basically for their own production."

Sauter Timber uses a joinery machine that cuts rafters, heavy timbers, posts, beams and staircases, all with precut miters and parts.

All parts leave the facility ready to be assembled-virtually no cutting or measuring is necessary at the job site.

The company is already shipping throughout the U.S. and Germany. Its distribution is handled by CRD, Inc., Clinton, Tn.
