Porter Engineering

Porter Engineering was founded in 1971 to offer specialized equipment engineering services for the forest products industry. Now, we are a leader in Sawmill optimization and automation control. We focus on log merchandizing, primary, and secondary breakdown systems. Our systems include band saw variation monitoring and face checking software for quality control. We have systems in greenfield installs and machinery replacement. One of our specialties is upgrading older machines and have a great track record of improving production, recovery, and uptime that extends usable life of in-place machinery.
We have worked with nearly all manufacturers in the past and are working with new ones. From older custom merchandisers to new curve saws with profilers, short Chip-n-Saws to double length profiling quad band four sided canters, we have optimizers and controls in nearly all types of front-end machinery.
