Ponsse North America, Inc has expanded its operations to Midway, Florida. The main factors that influenced this development are the growing demand for cut-to-length wood and an increase in machine sales in the South.
“Forestry is our focus and all we do. We are extremely excited about our expansion to the South because of the number of mill investments with new facilities opening, reopening of shut down mills and capacity increases. It is time for cut-to-length to be more dominant in the south like it is currently in the northern part of the USA,” states Pekka Ruuskanen the President and CEO of Ponsse North America, Inc.
Ponsse North America, Inc is a subsidiary of Ponsse Plc and was established in 1995. The headquarters is currently located in the heart of the cut-to-length region in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Ponsse has branches in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon and now the latest addition in Florida. Ponsse also has full-line dealers and service dealers in various locations around the nation.
Today, Ponsse Plc is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of rubber-tired cut-to-length forest machines. The roots of the family-owned company lie deep in the Finnish countryside. The company is still based in Vieremä, Finland in the same location in which it was founded in 1970.
