Lest We Forget
Friday, November 9th, 2018
This Sunday, November 11th, 2018, is the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, the end of World War I. Let us take a moment to honour and remember all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf, those who fought and returned home from war — broken, and those who still serve today across the globe. Let us celebrate peace and strive for an end to all wars throughout the world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
From: For the Fallen, by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)

It’s a Wrap!
Monday, October 22nd, 2018
It was an incredible few days in Portland at the Timber Processing and Energy Expo! The event featured exhibits from major equipment companies and suppliers in the wood processing and timber markets — and included workshops examining topics ranging from artificial intelligence in the sawmill industry to the revival of the North American wood panel market. The show had something for everyone and was attended by top industry professionals from across the globe.
We brought along one of our Brunette Veneer Chippers (with permission from its new owner, Richmond Plywood) where it made a big splash on the floor of the Portland Exposition Center. Amid the oohs and ahs, the team had the opportunity to show off the chipper and explain all the advantages of our machines to the crowd. We also launched our newest product line at the expo: CBI Magnum Force stationary, electric horizontal grinders. While both pieces of equipment commanded a lot of enthusiasm, we heard that the hit of the show was the Brunette barbecue on Wednesday night!
Thank you, TP & Energy Expo, for a great show — see you in 2020!

WPAC Conference & AGM — We Were There
Friday, September 21st, 2018
We attended the Wood Pellet Association of Canada’s (WPAC) 2018 Conference and AGM this week along with wood pellet, biomass and bioenergy professionals from across North America, Europe and Asia. It was a great opportunity to learn about the emerging bioenergy industry and the impact it is having around the globe.
The speakers were from various sectors of the industry including Christian Hansen, the Regional Director and Senior Trade Commissioner of Global Affairs Canada, Pacific regional office in Vancouver, Fiona Murray, Vice President of industrial products at CN Rail, as well as other leaders in the wood pellet and biomass/bioenergy industries in Canada and the US.
The conference focussed on international developments in the domestic and global wood pellet industry such as new research and development in the science of biomass, the emerging and fast-growing pellet market in Asia and the most innovative pellet and bioenergy technologies that are being produced right now.
It was an interesting and well-organized event, with great speakers, a beautiful venue and ample opportunities for learning and networking with professionals from all areas of this exciting market.
We even had the good fortune to sample, John Swaan’s world famous pellet-smoked ribs at Tuesday evening’s barbeque and networking event. John is the pellet expert at Future Metrics and he is considered to be the “grandfather of wood pellets”.

Let’s Celebrate!
Friday, September 7th, 2018
Do you remember where you were 41 years ago today? Our Parts Manager remembers — it was her first day of work at Brunette. For the past four decades we have been fortunate to have her expertise, her creativity, her loyalty, and her friendship.
As we celebrate Brunette’s 75th anniversary this year, we are also applauding the many people who made this milestone possible. Sonia is one of those people.
Sonia came to us as a bright-eyed new office assistant, who sorted and distributed mail, filed documents and posted timecards. Today, she is an experienced professional who has built strong relationships, both personal and business, with our customer base throughout North America. She is a tremendous asset to Brunette, always championing the company and leading by example. Her contributions have been numerous and substantial.
Happy anniversary, Sonia. Thank you for spending 41 great years with us. Our success is directly attributable to employees like you who have grown with us, learned our customers’ needs, and then “pulled out all the stops” to see they got what they wanted.
