Pacific Woodtech Rebrands As Pwt
Pacific Woodtech, an engineered wood products (EWP) manufacturing leader, is revising its branding and adopting the identification, PWT, and anchored by the tagline, Focused on EWP.
The company says the revised brand identity and messaging reflect PWT’s in- dustry expansion and stewardship and highlights PWT’s innovation and focal point on EWP production, which was bolstered by the company’s recent acquisition of Louisiana-Pacific’s EWP division.
Customers will see the fresh face of PWT in all facets of the company’s brand—from apparel, literature, product stamps, and paper wrap to every corner of digital marketing and a complete website redesign.
PWT is headquartered in Burlington, Wash. and has factories in California, North Carolina and British Columbia.
EGGER-LEXINGTON ENHANCES RECYCLING
Egger Group has acquired the business and assets of Novem Industries, Inc., a wood recycling facility located in Charlotte, NC. The acquisition, via Egger’s whollyowned subsidiary, Timberpak, LLC, is expected to enhance the mission of Egger Wood Products LLC to create more from wood and to be sustainable for future generations.
Timberpak will process post-consumer recycled materials to be used in the production of particleboard and thermally fused laminate products at Egger’s Lexington, NC manufacturing plant. This diverts resources that would have otherwise gone to landfills.
With the Novem Industries acquisition, Timberpak intends to transition and adapt its European-based processes and procedures to meet the needs of Egger’s Lexington plant, supplying raw materials for the plant’s on-site wood-recycling opera tions, which is currently under construction.
In addition to Timberpak’s acquisition and new operational location, Egger Wood Products has strengthened its mission toward sustainable production by investing an additional $38 million in its Lexington production plant, which will further the ability to process raw recycled materials.
Timberpak will accept construction and demolition waste wood, in addition to packaging waste—primarily used and broken pallets—from distribution centers for industrial manufacturing. The wood will be ground into pieces about 1 ft. in length before delivery to Egger’s Lexington plant.
Further processing will occur at the on-site wood recycling facility, which is expected to be completed in early spring.
