DURABILITY BY DESIGN – CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN TIMBER’S POTENTIAL AND ITS PERFORMANCE
POSTSAVER’S GROUNDBREAKING PARTNERSHIP WITH WOOD-MIZER
A partnership between UK-based business Postsaver and global sawmilling and wood processing manufacturer Wood-Mizer could revolutionise the wood and fencing industry.
The collaboration combines Postsaver’s innovative, guaranteed rot prevention products with WoodMizer’s advanced engineering expertise to create the PostMizer machine, a custom-built application system designed to protect timber posts against rot and boost growth of wood sales.
This partnership tackles a key challenge in the timber industry: strengthening wood’s market position and driving growth amid increasing competition from alternative materials. By enabling timber producers to offer guaranteed long-life posts, Postsaver and Wood-Mizer are empowering the industry to reclaim its competitive edge. Postsaver’s Pro-Sleeve and Pro-Sleeve +PLUS rot protectors promise a guaranteed lifespan of 20 and 40-years respectively, giving timber producers the ability to offer a truly premium product which maximises margins. This proven technology now serves the needs of agricultural markets, local authorities, fencing specifiers and homeowners seeking long-life and sustainable fencing solutions.
The PostMizer machine, developed in collaboration with Wood-Mizer, is a high-spec, highquality application system designed to fit up to 360 rot protection sleeves per hour. This efficiency makes it ideal for large-scale production. Sawmills and timber merchants can use the PostMizer to apply both ProSleeve and Pro-Sleeve +PLUS rot protectors at scale to UC4-treated posts to create a finished product which offers unrivalled protection against decay, and a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to creosote or CCA treatments.
By teaming up with WoodMizer, Postsaver ensures that the PostMizer is not only highly efficient but also meets the highest standards of reliability and durability according to Richard George, CEO of Postsaver: “We have partnered with one of the best machinery manufacturers in the world to develop the PostMizer. This collaboration guarantees that the machine is high spec and high quality, giving post producers confidence in the system. Working with Wood-Mizer also reinforces our commitment to providing industryleading solutions.”
