The collaboration combines Postsaver’s innovative, guaranteed rot prevention products with Wood-Mizer’s advanced engineering expertise to create the PostMizer machine –a custom-built application system designed to protect timber posts against rot and boost growth of wood sales.
This partnership tackles a key challenge in the timber industry: strengthening wood’s market position and driving growth amid increasing competition from alternative materials. By enabling timber producers to offer guaranteed long-life posts, Postsaver and Wood-Mizer say they are empowering the industry to reclaim its competitive edge.
Postsaver’s Pro-Sleeve and Pro-Sleeve +PLUS rot protectors promise a guaranteed lifespan of 20 and 40-years respectively, giving timber producers the ability to offer a truly premium product which maximises margins. This technology now serves the needs of agricultural markets, local authorities, fencing specifiers, and homeowners seeking long-life and sustainable fencing solutions.
The PostMizer machine, developed in collaboration with Wood-Mizer, is an application system designed to fit up to 360 rot protection sleeves per hour. This efficiency makes it ideal for large-scale production. Sawmills and timber merchants can use the PostMizer to apply both Pro-Sleeve and Pro-Sleeve +PLUS rot protectors at scale to UC4-treated posts.
“We have partnered with one of the best machinery manufacturers in the world to develop the PostMizer,” said Richard George, CEO of Postsaver. “This collaboration guarantees that the machine is high spec and high quality, giving post producers confidence in the system. Working with Wood-Mizer also reinforces our commitment to providing industry-leading solutions.”
“Wood products have been losing market share to alternative materials in recent years,” continued Mr George. “By offering a premium product with a market-leading 40-year guarantee, we can help post producers reclaim their position in the market. Retailers are already stocking pre-protected posts, and sales are growing steadily month on month.”
