Komatsu Strengthens Forestry Position with TimberPro Purchase

Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TimberPro, Inc. The acquisition is expected to close on April 1, 2019, subject to completion of the closing conditions.

Established in 2002, TimberPro is a Shawano, Wisconsin-based manufacturer of purpose-built forest machines and attachments, offering tracked feller-bunchers and harvesters, forwarders, wheeled harvesters and felling heads. The company was officially founded in 2002 by Pat Crawford, a former professional logger. 

“Acquiring TimberPro will strengthen the company’s position in the full-tree-length market and enables us to offer a highly competitive range of products for professional logging,” said Rod Schrader, CEO, Komatsu America Corp.
