Stiles Machinery selected for mass timber project with Rosboro for GLT Factory

Stiles Machinery, in collaboration with Kallesoe, and System TM announced that Rosboro – North America’s largest producer of glued-laminated timber (GLT) – has chosen the HOMAG Group members to deliver mass timber solutions for their new GLT Factory in Springfield, Oregon.

Brian Wells, Senior Vice President of Strategic Development of Rosboro, says, “The distributors who carry Rosboro’s flagship X-Beam© stock glulam and other Rosboro Engineered Wood Products are the premier EWP distributors in their markets.  They rely on us to supply a steady stream of high-quality, cost-effective framing solutions.  We are making this investment to ensure that our partners can continue to grow their successful X-Beam programs for many years to come.” 

 

 

The new GLT factory will utilize a highly efficient System TM Feeding System followed by a Finger-Jointing Line that is seamlessly integrated with two Kallesoe Radio-Frequency GLT Press Lines.  HOMAG Group is excited to partner with Rosboro on this project and working together to grow the North American Mass Timber industry.
