LINDSAY, ON —TS Manufacturing, a leading provider
of sawmill equipment, recently announced that they
are expanding their facility for the second time in two
years. This brings the TS manufacturing plant to over
85,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity to support
its continued growth and demand in the sawmill
manufacturing industry.
“As a turnkey supplier for large-scale projects, we felt
the need to expand our facility. Sawmills are revamping
their own facilities; growing, expanding, and updating
equipment to allow for greater production, automated
systems, and adding optimization capabilities to their
current equipment. Our customers are purchasing our
systems because we have been recognized as an industry
leader in the combination of Optimized High Recovery
Systems and Sophisticated controls, all in the
scope of a single supplier. This necessitated our de-

cision for the expansion of our facility. The added extra
square footage will allow for additional office space
for our engineering team, expand our machine shop,
our electrical panel manufacturing shop and research
and development and create a more productive shipping
and assembly area. This $3.7 million expansion
includes additional High Production CNC equipment in
our machine and fabrication areas,” said Kris Smith, TS
System Sales.
TS Manufacturing started its 12,000 square foot addition
in late 2021 and it is expected to be completed by
spring 2022. This expansion will allow TS to continue
to support its customers with the high demand for new
and improved sawmill equipment.
“One area we have focused on is the ability to do everything
in-house. During these trying times with labor
shortages, shipping delays, subcontract services, and
supplies we are already ahead of the curve. To develop,
manufacture and mill all parts that go into every piece
of equipment in-house means fewer disruptions in our
production timelines,” stated Ted Smith, president.
TS Manufacturing designs, engineers, and constructs
all machine parts in-house, everything from electrical
components, programming, milling to painting. “TS is
truly a one-stop shop for all sawmill equipment,” a company
spokesperson noted.
