We Build Reliability
Nicholson Manufacturing dates to 1948 when T.W. (Bill) Nicholson built his first veneer debarker in Seattle, Washington. Prior to this innovation, debarking of logs was a slow and laborious process – often done by hand. Over the next few years Bill Nicholson continued building lathe type and rosser head type whole log debarkers until 1951 when he designed and built his first whole log mechanical ring type debarker
Incorporating optimum mechanical design and electronic controls, Nicholson debarkers can meet the demands of the modern wood processing facility.
Produced in Sidney, British Columbia, Nicholson Manufacturing is committed to continually developing and building the finest ring debarkers available. Our team of research and development engineers work closely with our customers and service technicians to ensure that we remain at the forefront of ring debarking technology.
