Millwood Acquires Southworth Wood Products

Millwood Inc. acquired its second location in Southern OH and 35th location nationwide. The acquisition was finalized on September 1 by Millwood co-owners and partners Chip Trebilcock and Steve Miller.

The new location sits on 51 acres and will be referred to as MillTree East: A Millwood Inc. Co., and is just minutes from Millwood’s original MillTree West location in Waverly, OH.

MillTree East is a circle mill that is currently cutting material that is resized with band saws for pallet material. Custom crates and pallets are also built at this new location.

“This mill here allows us to do more custom lengths than our original Waverly scragg mill,” said Millwood general manager Lionel Trebilcock. “This acquisition will allow for growth for the company and the team members working at our MillTree operations.”

Railroad ties are also being cut at this new Millwood location.

“When pallets or cut stock is down a little bit, we can switch gears and cut these ties,” said Trebilcock. “This is a new product that we’ve never done before.”

“The Southworth Wood Products acquisition just made sense. It fit with our mission and is just minutes away from our MillTree West location,” Trebilcock said. The two MillTree locations will work in tandem to meet the needs of our customer base in this region.”
