TimberPro Expands Wisconsin Manufacturing Facility
TimberPro recently completed an $8 million expansion project that added nearly 49,000 sq. ft. to its facility in Shawano, Wis. The expansion will allow the company to double production capacity, enabling it to meet growing market demand for its equipment and attachments.
To celebrate the project’s completion, TimberPro hosted a public open house on Friday, August 25, for employees, their families and members of the Shawano community. TimberPro was founded by Pat Crawford in 2002, and the family has been involved in the forestry business in Wisconsin for more than 75 years. In recognition of their contributions, the new expansion was dedicated to the Crawfords. TimberPro was sold to Komatsu following Pat Crawford’s death in 2019—but has remained in Wisconsin following the acquisition.
“Our facility expansion represents a significant step forward for TimberPro, and we were glad to be able to showcase our enhanced capabilities to the community,” says Doug Morris, VP, Forest Machine Business Division, Komatsu. “Forestry is very important to the Wisconsin economy, and this expansion will enable us to provide more good family-supporting jobs, while also allowing us to enhance our research and development capabilities and significantly increase our production.”
With its expanded operation, TimberPro currently has several new job openings. Applicants interested in applying call 847-437-5800; visit komatsu.jobs
