Klaus Posselt – Owner

Klaus Posselt, a born entrepreneur, immigrated from Germany as a teen with his family in the early 70’s. After many years of hard work on the family farm Klaus bought his first logging truck and grew his business(es) from there. Around 2012, in part due to dropping lumber prices and increasing logging costs he recognized the need to salvage and utilize waste timber that would otherwise be left in brush piles to be burnt. Driven by his resourceful nature and a market demand he purchased, redesigned and built a few small sawmills to do just that.
