Going, Going, GONE!
Thursday, December 12th, 2019
If you didn’t get a chance to see our CBI Magnum Force 5400SE-SA up close and personal at our Prince George facility, you may have missed your chance. We just sold that big machine!
But that doesn’t mean that you have missed the opportunity to buy one like it from us! We are now the North American distributor of the Stationary Electric models of the CBI Magnum Force Horizontal Grinders product line.
For over 75 years, we have been recognized as a leader in the manufacture of chipping and grinding machinery within the forestry products industry. The addition of this CBI product group is a natural fit to our own extensive line which includes the Brunette Drum Chipper, the Brunette BioSizer®, the Brunette SmartVIBE®, the Brunette E-Sweep, the Brunette Reclaimer, the CBI Grizzly Mill (manufactured under licence), the Brunette Disc Scalping Screen, Log Singulators®, and the Optical Belt Scale.
Check out the details on the CBI Magnum Force and our other products by clicking the links above. If you have any questions or would like to explore options on our equipment, please contact us and our knowledgeable sales team will be happy to help. Phone: 1.800.686.6679 or email:

The Last Show…
Wednesday, November 13th, 2019
We just returned from Tucson, Arizona where we attended the EWTA Info Fair, the premier supplier exhibition for companies to connect with North America’s leading engineered product manufacturers. It was a great event where we reconnected with old colleagues and made new connections. This show is the last one that Brunette is attending in 2019 and we are busy planning for all the exciting trade events that are coming up in the New Year.
The first two shows are happening in February and both offer excellent opportunities for networking with colleagues and customers in the forestry, wood products and bioenergy industries.
The Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen’s Association Convention and Exposition (IHLA) is billed as the largest convention and trade shows of its kind in the Midwest. The Association’s 122nd annual event, showcasing new technologies and innovations in the hardwood market, will take place over three days — February 3-5, 2020 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Find out more here.
Running at the same time, is the 13th Annual International Biomass Conference and Expo in Nashville, Tennessee — the world’s premier educational and networking event for the biomass industry. Sponsored by BBI International, this show will feature “All Things Biomass” with an expected attendance of over 900 producers, partners and industry experts. Read more here.
Both events promise to be exciting and informative with the opportunity to meet with peers, receive timely information on important industry topics, catch up with old customers and develop new connections. They will bring exhibitors, industry professionals and attendees together to share with and learn from each other.
If you are attending either event, please stop by our booths and say hello!

Two Minutes of Silence
Thursday, November 7th, 2019
Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 2,300,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice.*
As we stand in silence, with the sounds of the Last Post ringing in our hearts, the iconic poem — In Flanders Fields comes to mind. Lest we forget…
In Flanders Fields
Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Our office will be closed on Monday, November 11, 2019 in observance of Remembrance Day.
