Burton Mill Solutions, Woodland, Wa., has acquired Oregon Industrial, Eugene, Or. Oregon Industrial is a leading bandsaw blade weld center, specializing in precision tooth matching for nearly 90 years.
The acquisition expands Burton Mill Solutions’ ability to continue pushing the boundaries of excellence in custom cutting tools.
Thanks to this new team of expert welders, Burton will be able to supply metal cutting bands that meet the most stringent factory specifications for tough metals and abrasive surfaces. The continued use of the same state-of-the-art equipment and the same experienced Oregon Industrial professionals will ensure the same exceptional quality and service.
According to senior VP Chuck Wert, “We are delighted to join forces with Oregon Industrial Bandsaw. The addition of the narrow band welding service, and all the employees that have contributed to its success, will allow us to better serve to the secondary markets in the U.S. West.”
As part of this transition, Oregon Industrial will be relocating to the Burton Mill Solutions facility across town in Springfield, Or., where it will be integrated into existing operations to the benefit of existing and future customers.
