Weiler Forestry Comes Of Age
Weiler Forestry, Inc. announced the launch of its purpose-built forestry products following its acquisition of Caterpillar’s purpose-built forestry business. The product line consists of wheel skidders, track feller-bunchers, wheel feller-bunchers, and knuckleboom loaders.
Weiler Forestry facilities now include the former Caterpillar manufacturing plant and warehouse in LaGrange, Ga., a demonstration and training center in Auburn, Ala., the Prentice engineering and product development center in Prentice, Wis., and the legacy Prentice parts distribution center in Smithfield, NC.
Weiler Forestry will design and manufacture purpose-built forestry products, which will continue to be available through the Cat dealer network. Weiler entered into a preliminary agreement with Caterpillar, Inc. in August 2018. Weiler stated it anticipates retaining the approximate 270 employees supporting the forestry business, adding to the nearly 500 employees currently employed at the Knoxville, Ia. based manufacturer’s corporate office and manufacturing facility.
