A £4 million investment in timber processing has been made by Arbor Forest Products.
A new state-of-the-art sawmill planing line has been added to the New Holland site, bringing further automation to the huge plant. It can custom cut and process 200m of timber a minute, or 40,000 km - the equivalent of circumnavigating the planet - annually.
It is described as being an integral part of the 70-year-old company’s long term strategy with the “cutting edge” equipment a first of its kind in the UK.
